ABSTRACT
We determined the complete chloroplast DNA sequence of Artemisia hallaisanensis Nakai, an endemic herbal species distributed on Jeju Island, Korea. The chloroplast DNA is 151,015 bp in length and encodes 4 rRNA, 30 tRNA, and 80 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis and sequence comparison of protein-coding genes with other Artemisa chloroplast DNAs revealed that the chloroplast genome of A. hallaisanensis is closely related to that of A. capillaris. Additionally, a unique 9 bp deletion in ycf1 gene is specific to A. hallaisanensis.
ABSTRACT
Hosta yingeri is a perennial herbal ornamental plant belonging to the Asparagaceae family and an endemic species distributed in islands of Korea. In this study, complete chloroplast genome sequence of H. yingeri was characterized through de novo assembly with next generation sequencing data. The chloroplast genome is 156,756 bp in length and contains four rRNA genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 77 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated a close relationship of H. yingeri with other species belonging to the subfamily Agavoideae in Asparagaceae.
