Abstract
Mucuna pruriens is traditional medicinal plant originated in South Africa. We characterize the complete plastid genome of M. pruriens, which is a circular-mapping molecule 152,119 bp in length. The genome has a large single-copy region (LSC) of 78,258 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,735 bp, respectively. Additionally, the overall GC content of the chloroplast genome was 35.37%. The genome contains 138 genes, including 96 protein-coding, 38 tRNA, and four rRNA genes. The gene content and structure are conserved compared to other species in the genus Glycine. The chloroplast genome and existing data were used to infer its phylogenetic position. The results showed that M. pruriens clustered together with Glycine max and G. soja. These findings provide potential genetic markers that can aid in understanding the genetic diversity of M. pruriens.
