Paris polyphylla var. chinensis is a species of flowering herb of the family Liliaceae and widely distributed in 12 provinces in China. It has been used in Chinese traditional medicine for centuries. The chloroplast (cp) genome of P. polyphylla var. chinensis, sequenced based on next-generation platform (NEOSAT), is 164,429 bp in size. The cp genome encodes 133 genes, including eight rRNA genes, 87 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and 38 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic relationship analysis based on complete cp genome sequences exhibited that P. polyphylla var. chinensis was most related to Daiswa forrestii.
Liparis nervosa is a plant of the family Orchidaceae and mainly distributed in subtropical and tropical regions of the world. In Chinese traditional medicine, it has been used for the treatment of hemostasis, carbuncle, and furuncle for centuries. The chloroplast (cp) genome of L. nervosa, sequenced based on next-generation platform (NEOSAT), is 157,274 bp in size. The cp genome encodes 130 genes, including eight rRNA genes, 85 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and 37 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic relationship analysis based on complete cp genome sequences exhibited that both of L. nervosa and L. loeselii were phylogenetically closer to Dendrobium officinale.
Guo (2020) Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Tinospora sagittata and its phylogenetic implications, Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 5:1, 176-177, ABSTRACT Tinospora sagittata is a perennial vine of the family Menispermaceae and distributed in Hunan, Hubei, Guangxi, and Sichuan province of P. R. China. It has been used in Chinese traditional medicine for centuries. The chloroplast (cp) genome of T. sagittata, characterized using Illumina technology, is 163,662 bp in size. There are a total of 130 genes, coding for 85 proteins, 37 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. Phylogenetic relationship analysis based on 16 complete cp genome sequences exhibited that T. sagittata was phylogenetically closer to Menispermum dauricum and Stephania japonica.
ARTICLE HISTORY
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
