Abstract

Abstract: Perilla citriodora is a diploid and an aromatic herb species belonging to the family Lamiaceae and widely distributed in East Asia. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of P. citriodora was generated by de novo assembly using whole genome next-generation sequences. The assembled chloroplast genome of P. citriodora was 152 588 bp in length and structurally divided into four distinct regions; large single copy region (83 699 bp), small single copy region (17 537 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (25 676 bp). A total of 115 genes were annotated including 81 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic relationship with previously reported chloroplast genomes revealed that P. citriodora is most closely related to P. frutescens, a tetraploid Perilla species.
