Abstract

Geum longifolium (Maxim.) Smedmark 2006 belongs to the family Rosaceae, subfamily Rosoideae, tribe Colurieae. Geum longifolium is endemic to China and its whole herb is used in Chinese medicine. Here, the first complete chloroplast (cp) genome of G. longifolium was assembled and annotated based on genome skimming, and its phylogenetic position was investigated using phylogenomic evidence. The cp genome size of G. longifolium was 155,884 bp with the total GC content of 36.7%. Its cp genome presented a typical tetrad structure, composed of a large single copy (LSC) region (85,338 bp), a small single copy (SSC) region (18,358 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (26,094 bp). The cp genome encoded 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that G. longifolium was sister to G. elatum Wall. ex G.Don 1832 in current taxa sampling. This study can enrich the chloroplast genomic resource of Geum and lay the foundation for future phylogenetic studies on Geum.
