Leibnitzia anandria is a perennial herbaceous plant with medicinal properties, and the entire plant can be used in traditional medicine. Leibnitzia anandria was once classified under the genus Gerbera Cass., but was reclassified under Leibnitzia Cass. recently. In this study, using the GeneLab M sequencing technology of the Genemind platform, we have sequenced, assembled, and analyzed the complete chloroplast genome of Leibnitzia anandria for the first time. The genome is 154168 bp in length, consisting of a large single-copy region(LSC, 80166 bp), a small single-copy region(SSC, 18202 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat sequences(IR, 27900 bp). We have predicted and annotated a total of 133 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA-coding genes, and 8 rRNA-coding genes. The results of the phylogenetic analysis indicate that Leibnitzia anandria and Leibnitzia nepalensis, as well as the closely related Gerbera plant, clustered into a separate clade, rather than grouping together with the other plants belonging to the tribe Mutisieae. This study provides new information for the phylogeny research of Leibnitzia anandria, contributing to a better understanding of its taxonomy and evolution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
