Complete plastome of Houttuynia cordata (Saururaceae), a medicinal and edible plant.

ABSTRACT: The complete plastome of Houttuynia cordata, an important medicinal and edible plant, was identified and sequenced in this study. The circular plastome is 160,217?bp in length and consists of a pair of inverted repeats (IRs 26,854?bp each), which is separated by a large single-copy region (LSC, 88,189?bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,320?bp). It encodes 132 genes, of which 114 are unique genes (80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs). The phylogenetic analysis strongly reveals the sister group between H. cordata and the clade including Piper kadsura, Piper cenocladum, Saruma henryi, and Asarum sieboldii.
