ABSTRACT
Ocimum basilicum L. var. basilicum (Sweet Basil) is an aromatic herb belonging to the family Lamiaceae and is known for its medicinal uses. It is commonly used in traditional medicine for its therapeutic value, including anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and antimicrobial properties. In this study, we generated the complete chloroplast genome sequence of O. basilicum var. basilicum using Illumina paired-end sequencing data. The chloroplast genome was 152,407 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,409 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 17,604 bp, separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,697 bp. The genome contained 134 genes, including 89 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. Nine genes had one intron, two genes had two introns, and others did not have any intron. Overall GC content of the chloroplast genome was 38%, while that of LSC, SSC, and IR regions was 35.9%, 31.6%, and 43.1%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of the chloroplast genomes revealed that O. basilicum var. basilicum was closely related to Ocimum basilicum from the Ocimum species.
