Abstract

Abstract: Tripterygium wilfordii is a perennial vine plant with medicinal value and belongs to the family of Celastraceae. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete chloroplast genome of T. wilfordii . The chloroplast genome was 156, 700 bp in length with a GC content of 37.47%. It contained two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26, 461 bp; each region was separated by large single-copy and small single-copy regions of 85, 409 bp and 18, 369 bp, respectively. In total, we annotated 134 unique genes, consisting of 89 protein-encoding genes, 8 rRNAs and 37 tRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that T. wilfordii was sister to T. regelii in a clade of Tripterygiumii species that was sister to a clade of Euonymus species.
