Abstract

We determined the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Epilobium parviflorum Schreb. The genome is 161,284 bp in length [including a large single copy (LSC): 89,063 bp; a small single copy (SSC): 17,323 bp; and two inverted repeat (IR) regions: 27,499 bp] with 38.1% GC content and contains 84 coding genes (CDS), 37 transfer RNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Among them, infA was annotated as a pseudogene. The maximum-likelihood analysis based on CDS sequences of chloroplast genomes was conducted for investigating the phylogenetic relationship among Epilobium and related species. The results showed a close relationship between E. parviflorum and E. hirsutum L. Our study added new genetic information of E. parviflorum and helped to understand the relationship with related species and evolutionary history in Onagraceae.
