Abstract

We reported and characterized the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Strobilanthes crispus Blume 1826. Strobilanthes crispus belongs to the Acanthaceae family and has a number of local names including Batuzin, Bayam Karang, Kotz Bellin, and Pekka Batu, which is native to Malaysian with diverse beneficial uses. Green leaves were determined using next-generation sequencing. We found that the entire chloroplast genome of S. crispus was 144,987 bp in length, included four segments, named a large single-copy (LSC) region (92,556 bp), a small single-copy (SSC) region (17,783 bp), and a pair inverted repeat regions (IRs) (17,324 bp in each), respectively. The chloroplast genome of S. crispus contained a total of 129 functional genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The phylogenetic tree reconstructed by nine chloroplast genomes reveals that S. crispus is most closely related to Strobilanthes bantonensis and Strobilanthes cusia.
