Abstract
Taraxacum platycarpum and Taraxacum mongolicum are perennial plants utilized for medicinal purposes in the family Asteraceae. The complete chloroplast genome sequences of the two species were characterized by de novo assembly with whole genome sequencing data. The chloroplast genomes of T. platycarpum and T. mongolicum were 151,307 and 151,451 bp in length, respectively, and showed a typical quadripartite structure. The chloroplast genomes of both species contained the same number of genes, 79 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the two Taraxacum species were grouped with T. officinale, all of which showed sister relationship with Lactuca sativa.
