Abstract

Abstract: Saposhnikovia divaricata (Trucz.) Schischk. is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine widely distributed in Eastern Siberia and Northern Asia. In this research, we assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. divaricata from high-throughput sequencing data. The chloroplast genome was 147, 834 bp in length, consisting of large single-copy (LSC) and small single-copy (SSC) regions of 93, 202 bp and 17, 324 bp, respectively, which were separated by a pair of 18, 654 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The genome is expected to contain 129 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The total GC content of the genome is 37.5%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 40 chloroplast genomes reveals that S. divaricata is mostly related to Ledebouriella seseloides .
