The complete chloroplast genome sequence of medicinal plant, Artemisia argyi.

ABSTRACT: Artemisia argyi, called wormwood, is widely distributed in northeastern Asia. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of A. argyi was generated by de novo assembly using whole genome next generation sequences. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of A. argyi is 151?192?bp in size. It is composed of a large single-copy (LSC), a small single-copy (SSC) and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 82?930?bp, 18?344?bp and 24?959?bp, respectively. Overall GC contents of the genome were 37.46%. The A. argyi chloroplast genome has a total of 114 genes including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on the chloroplast genome demonstrated that A. argyi is most closely related to Artemisia montana.
