The complete chloroplast genome sequence of spleen amaranth (Amaranthus dubius Mart. ex Thell., Amaranthaceae)

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Amaranthus dubius is a leafy vegetable widely cultivated in Asia and Africa. The complete chloroplast genome of Amaranthus dubius was sequenced and assembled in this study. The complete chloroplast genome is 150,520 bp. A total of 130 genes were identified, including 85 protein-coding genes, eight rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. The overall GC content of this genome was 36.6%. The phylogenetic tree based on 10 chloroplast genomes in Amaranthaceae supports that A. dubius is sister to A. hypochondriacus and A. caudatus.
