The complete chloroplast genome of Meeboldia yunnanensis (Apiaceae)

Meeboldia yunnanensis Wolff (Apiaceae) is a perennial species naturally distributed in Yunnan and Xizang. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of M. yunnanensis was generated by de novo assembly using whole-genome next-generation sequencing data. The complete chloroplast genome of M. yunnanensis was 154,865 bp in total sequence length and divided into four distinct regions: small single-copy region (17,370 bp), large single-copy region (84,641 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (26,427 bp). The genome annotation displayed a total of 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with the reported chloroplast genomes revealed that M. yunnanensis has close relationship to Pterygopleurum neurophyllum.
