Abstract
The Yao ethnomedicine "Xiaobai-beifeng" uses Aeschynanthus acuminatus, yet its chloroplast genome was uncharacterized. We report the first complete chloroplast genome (153,158 bp), a typical quadripartite structure encoding 125 unique genes. Phylogenomic analysis places A. acuminatus as sister to Lysionotus. This study provides a genomic resource for molecular identification and conservation of this medicinal plant.
期刊介绍:
This open access journal publishes high-quality and concise research articles reporting the sequence of full mitochondrial genomes, and short communications focusing on the physical, chemical, and biochemical aspects of mtDNA and proteins involved in mtDNA metabolism and interactions.
