Abstract

Nymphoides peltata is an aquatic floating weed widely distributed in the northern hemisphere of Eurasia. To better determine its phylogenetic relationships with other Nymphoides species and other aquatic plant species, the chloroplast genome of N. peltata was sequenced. The chloroplast genome size is 152,198 bp, consisting of a large single-copy region (84,223 bp) and a small single-copy region (17,817 bp) separated by a pair of inverted repeats with a length of 25,079 bp. The chloroplast genome contains 127 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 34 tRNA genes, and eight rRNAs. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree showed that N. peltata is more closely related to other Nymphoides species, providing new insight into the evolution and genetic diversity of aquatic weeds.
