Abstract
The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Bupleurum boissieuanum was assembled from high-throughput Illumina sequencing data. The cp genome is 156,108 bp in length, and comprises a pair of 26,303-bp inverted repeat (IR) regions, which are separated by one small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,495 bp and one large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,007 bp. It contains 112 unique genes, with 17 of them being duplicated within the IR. The overall G+C content of the whole genome is 37.7%, and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC and IR regions are 35.8, 31.4 and 42.8%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted to assess inter-relationships among the major clades of Apiaceae, and suggested that B. boissieuanum is closely related to the congeneric B. falcatum.
