RESUMEN
As a medicinal herb of Tibetan, Meconopsis quintuplinervia is often utilized for treating pneumonia. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of M. quintuplinervia was determined by next-generation sequencing technology. The overall genome was 154,997 bp in size, including a large single copy (LSC), a small single copy (SSC) and two inverted repeat (IR) regions, which were 85,153 bp, 17,876 bp, and 25,984 bp in length, respectively. The circular chloroplast genome owned 129 genes, comprising 84 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes (four rRNA species), and 37 transfer RNA genes. The GC contents of the entire sequence, LSC, SSC, and IR region were 38.5%, 37.1%, 32.8%, and 43%, separately. The maximum likelihood tree revealed that M. quintuplinervia was closely related to M. racemosa with strong support value.
