Abstract

Abstract: Taraxacum officinale is a distributed weedy plant used as a traditional medicinal herb belonging to the family Asteraceae. The complete chloroplast genome of T. officinale was generated by de novo assembly with whole genome sequence data. The chloroplast genome was 151 324 bp in length, which consisted of a large single copy region of 83 895 bp and a short single copy region of 18 549 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeat regions of 24 440 bp. The chloroplast genome contained 79 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that T. officinale was closely related to Lactuca sativa .
