The complete chloroplast genome of Chrysanthemum boreale (Asteraceae)

Abstract

Chrysanthemum boreale is a perennial plant in the Asteraceae family that is native to eastern Asia and has both ornamental and herbal uses. Here, we determined the complete chloroplast genome sequence for C. boreale using long-read sequencing. The chloroplast genome was 151,012 bp and consisted of a large single copy (LSC) region (82,817 bp), a small single copy (SSC) region (18,281 bp) and two inverted repeats (IRs) (24,957 bp). It was predicted to contain 131 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs and 46 tRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis of chloroplast genomes clustered C. boreale with other Chrysanthemum and Asteraceae species.
