The complete chloroplast genome of Acanthopanax brachypus (Araliaceae), a famous medicinal plant in China.

ABSTRACT

Acanthopanax brachypus (Araliaceae) is an important medicinal plant originated from China. Here, we reported the first chloroplast genome sequence of A. brachypus. The plastome of A. brachypu is 156,802 bp in length, including a large single-copy (LSC) of 86,742 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) of 18,184 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 25,938 bp. It contains 113 unique genes consisting of 80 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes.
