The complete chloroplast genome of Blumea axillaris (Asteraceae: Blumea ) and phylogenetic analysis
Abstract
Blumea axillaris is a medicinal herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Blumea in the Asteraceae family. This study reports the first complete chloroplast genome of B. axillaris, assembled as 151,043 bp with a typical quadripartite structure. It contains 134 genes (90 protein-coding, 36 tRNA, and 8 rRNA). A double inversion was detected relative to Barnadesia caryophylla. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the sister relationship between B. axillaris and B. oxyodonta. These results provide valuable chloroplast resources for phylogenetic studies and resource development of B. axillaris
