The complete chloroplast genome sequence of purple mullein (Verbascum phoeniceum L.).

ABSTRACT: Verbascum phoeniceum, known as purple mullein or temptress purple, is a species native to Central Europe, Central Asia, and Western China. In the present study, the chloroplast (cp) genome of V. phoeniceum was assembled using genome skimming sequencing. The cp genome of V. phoeniceum is 153,348 bp in length comprising two copies of inverted regions (IR, 25,430 bp) separated by the large single-copy (LSC, 84,601 bp) and small single copy (SSC, 17,887 bp) regions. It encodes 114 unique genes, consisting of 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes, with 20 duplicated genes in the IR regions. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that V. phoeniceum exhibits a closer relationship with Scrophularia rather than Buddleja.
