Abstract

Ledebouriella seseloides (Hoffm.) H.Wolff is a traditional medicinal herb belonging to Apiaceae family, whose dried roots and rhizomes have been used as traditional medicine in East Asian countries. The complete chloroplast genome of L. seseloides was obtained by de novo assembly using the small amount of whole genome sequencing data. The chloroplast genome of L. seseloides was 147 880 bp in length, which consisted of large single copy region (93 222 bp), small single copy region (17 324 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (18 667 bp). The overall GC contents of the chloroplast genome were 37.5%. A total of 113 genes were annotated, which included 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with the reported chloroplast genomes revealed that L. seseloides is most closely related to Petroselinum crispum (parsley), an herb widely used in cooking.
