Popis: Glycyrrhiza inflata is a threatened perennial herb with medicinal value, which restricts in NW China and Mongolia. Its ally species, G. aspera, is widely distributed from northern China to Turkey. The complete chloroplast genomes were sequenced using the Illumina Hiseq X-Ten platform. Each of the genomes lacks an inverted repeat (IR) region, containing 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs genes, and 4 rRNAs. The overall GC contents are both 34.3%. A phylogenetic tree based on the whole chloroplast genomes of 15 species indicated that G. aspera and G. inflata belonged to a monophyletic Glycyrrhiza, which was nested in IRLC group of the subfamily Papilionoideae (Leguminosae).
