The complete chloroplast genome of Semenovia gyirongensis (Tribe Tordylieae, Apiaceae)

Semenovia gyirongensis is an endemic species in China. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of S. gyirongensis was generated by de novo assembly using whole genome next-generation sequencing. The cp genome was a circular structure and 147,246 bp in length, composed of four distinct regions such as large single-copy (LSC) region of 92,833 bp, small single-copy (SSC) region 17,545 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions of 36,868 bp. The cp genome contained 129 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The GC content was 37.6%. Phylogenetic analysis of 21 representative plastomes indicated that the S. gyirongensis was close to Pastinaca pimpinellifolia, Cnidium officinale, and Ligusticum sinense in the family Apiaceae.
