The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Ligularia fischeri (Ledeb.) Turcz. (Asteraceae)

Abstract We characterized the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Ligularia fischeri, a collection from Halla Mountain in Jeju Island, Korea. The plants are utilized as edible functional plant species harbouring useful antioxidant compounds in family Asteraceae. De novo assembly with whole genome sequencing data of L. fischeri completed the chloroplast genome of 151 133 bp long, which included two inverted repeats (IRs) blocks of 24 831 bp, separated by the large single-copy block of 83 238 bp and small single-copy block of 18 233 bp. The genome encoded 113 genes consisting of 80 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with protein coding gene sequences of reported Asteraceae chloroplast genomes revealed a close relationship of L. fischeri with Jacobaea vulgaris, a weed species world-widely distributed.
