The ripe fruits of all three species are not only used worldwide in treatments for gastrointestinal diseases, but are also popular condiments to cooked food. In this study, we determined and analyzed the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequences of these three <italic>Amomum</italic> species. The sizes of the cp genomes of <italic>A. xanthioides</italic>, <italic>A. villosum</italic> and <italic>A. longiligulare</italic> were 161,889 bp, 162,355 bp, and 161,990 bp, respectively. The cp genomes of all three species displayed a typical quadripartite structure. The cp genomes of <italic>A. xanthioides</italic>, <italic>A. villosum,</italic> and <italic>A. longiligulare</italic> encoded a total of 139, 138, and 139 genes, respectively, of which 118, 117, and 118 genes were single-copy genes. These included 92 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, as well as 39, 38, and 39 tRNAs, respectively. A comparative analysis revealed that the cp genomes of the three <italic>Amomum</italic> species had similar characteristics and patterns of organization. However, they also varied in terms of gene content, the expansion of inverted repeats, codon usage, repeat sequences, and simple sequence repeats. A phylogenetic analysis strongly supported a sister relationship between <italic>A. xanthioides</italic> and <italic>A. villosum</italic>. Overall, the results advance understanding of the relationships among the three medicinally valuable <italic>Amomum</italic> species, and provide basic molecular information to aid conservation efforts as well as research in phylogenetics and systematics.","PeriodicalId":482027,"journal":{"name":"Medicinal Plant Biology","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135400511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this review, we will focus on the application of TCM prescriptions and the modern bioactivities of Andrographis Herba. Due to the low content of andrographolide and derived lactones in the original species and the complexity of chemical structure, there is an urgent need to develop biotechnological methods for sustained obtaining andrographolide and its derivatives.
