Abstract
Plantago ovata is a commonly known and medicinally important plant of the family Plantaginaceae. It is more than 200 species of the family Plantago L. in the world. Simultaneously, Plantago ovata seed and husk are used in traditional medicine since long in China and treatment of cholesterol and diuresis. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Plantago ovata was determined by the Illumina Hiseq4000 sequencing. The complete chloroplast genome of Plantago ovata was 149,739 bp in length and displays a typical quadripartite structure of the large (LSC, 82,592 bp) and small (SSC, 18,365 bp) single-copy regions, separated by a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 24,390 bp each). It harbours 129 functional genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 35 transfer RNA and 8 ribosomal RNA genes species. The overall nucleotide composition was: 30.4% A, 31.2% T, 19.5% C, and 18.9% G, with a total G + C content of 38.4%. Phylogenetic relationship analysis shows that Plantago ovata closely related to Plantago maritima and Plantago media.
