Abstract

Abstract: Senecio vulgaris is an annual or biennial invasive weed. The complete chloroplast is 150, 806 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region of 82, 950 bp and a small single-copy region of 18, 214 bp. It encodes a set of 113 genes, consisting of 79 protein-coding, 30 tRNA, and 4 rRNA genes. 14 genes ( atpF, ndhA, ndhB, petB, petD, rpl2, rps12, rps16, trnA-UGC, trnG-UCC, trnI-GAU, trnK-UUU, trnL-UAA and trnV-UAC ) have a single intron, and two genes ( clpP and ycf3 ) possess double introns. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the cp genome of S. vulgaris is closely related to that of Jacobaea vulgaris.
