Abstract

Abstract: Elsholtzia splendens is a copper-tolerance plant colonized in copper mines in southern China. In this study, we sequenced and de novo assembled the complete chloroplast genome of E. splendens . The complete chloroplast genome is 150, 761 bp (37.8% of GC) in length and contains 87 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that among the 11 Lamiaceae species, Perilla citriodor is the closest relative of E. splendens . The complete chloroplast genome of E. splendens provides a valuable resource for comparative and evolutionary analysis among Lamiaceae species and may be helpful in understanding the molecular mechanism of copper tolerance in E. splendens .
