Abstract

Abstract: Pertya multiflora (Asteraceae) is a rare wild plant species narrowly distributed in Zhejiang province, China. In our present study, we assembled its complete chloroplast genome using high-throughput sequencing data. The results indicated that the whole chloroplast genome of P. multiflora was 153, 396 bp in length. Its large single copy, small single copy, and inverted region sequences were 84, 575 bp, 18, 451 bp, and 25, 185 bp. The P. multiflora chloroplast genome was composed of 134 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, eight rRNA genes, and two pseudogenes. Phylogenetic analysis results showed that P. multiflora was grouped with Gerbera jamesonii, with 100% bootstrap support.
