Popis: The complete plastome of Amaranthus retroflexus L., a field weed, was identified in this study. The genome size was 150,710 bp and consists of a large single-copy (LSC: 83,892 bp) region, a small single-copy (SSC: 18,100 bp) region, and two inverted repeats (IRs: 24,359 bp) regions. GC content was 36.6%. A total of 113 genes were identified, including 79 protein-coding genes, four rRNA genes, and 30 tRNA genes. Twenty chloroplast genomes from Amaranthaceae were selected to reconstruct phylogenetic tree and the result supported that A. retroflexus was sister to A. hypochondriacus and A. caudatus.
