The complete chloroplast genome sequences of Korean Native Veronica subgenus Pseudolysimachion species (Part II): V. daurica and V. pyrethrina

We characterized the complete chloroplast genomes of Veronica daurica and V. pyrethrina (Plantaginaceae) using Illumina sequencing. The circular genomes were 152,223 bp and 152,240 bp in length, respectively, exhibiting a quadripartite structure with a large single-copy region (83,165–83,182 bp), a small single-copy region (17,700 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (25,679 bp). Both genomes encoded 133 genes with a GC content of 38.0%. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis revealed that V. daurica and V. pyrethrina form a monophyletic clade, showing a robust sister relationship with V. longifolia and V. pusanensis. These genomic resources, along with distinct SSR and RSCU profiles, resolve subgeneric morphological ambiguities and support future evolutionary studies.
