Abstract

Abstract: Veratrum oxysepalum Turcz. is a medicinal plant belonging to Melanthiaceae occurring in Northeast China. However, there are still limited genomic resources available for genus Veratrum . The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of V. oxysepalum was determined and analyzed in this study. The complete cp genome was 153, 705 bp. That contains a large single copy (LSC) region of 83, 384 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 17, 607 bp, which were separated by a pair of 26, 358 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). A total of 135 genes were annotated, including 83 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis using total chloroplast genome sequence of 21 species revealed that V. oxysepalum was closely relates to V. patulum of Veratrum with 100% bootstrap value.
