Abstract
Urtica fissa E. Pritz is not only an important medicinal plant for rheumatism and cough relief, but it is also an important forage plant. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of U. fissa was assembled for the first time and reported to be 146,837 base pairs (bp) long with a typical tetragonal structure and including a large single-copy of 79,657 bp, a small single-copy of 17,712 bp, and two inverted repeats of 24,734 bp each. It harbors 115 unique genes, including 70 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA genes, and 7 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that U. fissa is closely related to Urtica lobatifolia. This study contributes to the understanding of the origin and evolution of U. fissa, as well as its genetic relationships with other species.
