Melaleuca alternifolia
is commonly known as the medicinal tea tree. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence is 160,104 bp in length, with a quantitative molecule structure comprising two copies of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 26,737 bp separated by a large single copy (LSC) of 88,151bp, a small single copy (SSC) of 18,479 bp. A total of 131 genes were identified including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, eight rRNA genes and two pseudogene (Ψ

A), respectively. Phylogenomic analysis suggests that
M. alternifolia
is closely related to the rest species of Myrtaceae with strong bootstrap values.
Peucedanum praeruptorum is an important traditional herbal medicine unique to China. The complete chloroplast genome of P. praeruptorum was generated here using high-throughput sequencing. The plastome was 147,197 bp in size, which consisted of a pair of inverted repeats (IRs; 18,713 bp), a large single copy (LSC; 92,161 bp) and a small single copy (SSC; 17,610 bp). The GC content of the plastome was 37.6%, with 44.5%, 36.0%, and 31.1% in IRs, LSC, and SSC, respectively. A total of 128 genes were annotated, including 84 protein-coding genes, 35 tRNAs, eight rRNAs, and one pseudogene (Wycf1). The phylogenomic analysis indicated that P. praeruptorum formed a monophyletic clade with Peucedanum japonicum.
Glehnia littoralis is an important medicinal herb disjunctly distributed at sandy beaches in eastern Asia and western North America. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of G. littoralis is 147,552 bp in length and structurally divided into four distinct regions: two copies of inverted repeat of 18,365 bp separated by a large single copy (LSC) of 93,277 bp and a small single copy (SSC) of 17,545 bp. A total of 129 genes are annotated including 85 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA gene, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic relationship revealed that G. littoralis is closely related to Angelica dahurica in Apiaceae.
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.
