The complete chloroplast genome of a medicinal resource plant (Rumex crispus)

Abstract

Rumex crispus has high medicinal value which belongs to the family Polygonaceae. We sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of R. crispus, which is 158,851 bp in length. A total of 111 unique genes have been predicted in the chloroplast genome of this species, consisting of 77 protein-coding sequences, 30 tRNA and 4 rRNA genes. A maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree based on 80 proteincoding genes of 18 Polygonaceae species showed the phylogenetic position of R. crispus within the family Polygonaceae. These results facilitate population and biological studies of R. crispus and benefit further investigations of this important species.

Characterization of the Anti-Inflammatory, Immune Response, and Anti-Bacterial Properties of the Polar Extracts of Indigenous Korean Plants

“…The roots of R. crispus, a perennial plant that thrives in moist environments, have been traditionally used as a herbal medicine. 26 Root extracts from R. crispus with ethyl acetate and dichloromethane exhibited strong antioxidant activity and high flavonoid content. 27 The roots of R. crispus also demonstrated significant inhibition of NO production, suggesting the effectiveness of high flavonoid content on antiinflammatory responses.…”

A molecular phylogeny of historical and contemporary specimens of an under‐studied micro‐invertebrate group

“…Conversely, the use of GetOrganelle was superfluous for our dataset, recovering the fewest genes per sample, and having the highest failure rate. The iterative methods of GetOrganelle and NOVOplasty have previously been compared for chloroplast assemblies (Freudenthal et al., 2019; Oliveira et al., 2020) and combined for plastid genome construction (Ma & Lu, 2019; Tan et al., 2019; Yan et al., 2019). Results from these previous comparative analyses, in contrast to our own, indicate GetOrganelle may be more suited to chloroplast assemblies.…”

The complete chloroplast genome of Rumex hastatus D. Don and its phylogenetic analysis

“…To confirm the phylogenetic position of R. hastatus, the other 12 species of Polygonaceae subfamily from NCBI were aligned using MAFFT v7.307 (Katoh and Standley 2013). The maximum-likelihood (ML) tree was performed with RAxML v8.2.12 (Tan et al 2019) using 1000 bootstraps. Celosia dargemtea and Cyathula capitata were served as the out-group.…”
