Genomic analysis reveals the complete 153,158 bp chloroplast genome of Aeschynanthus acuminatus, suggesting resources for its molecular identification and conservation.
The Yao ethnomedicine "Xiaobai-beifeng" uses Aeschynanthus acuminatus, yet its chloroplast genome was uncharacterized. We report the first complete chloroplast genome (153,158 bp), a typical quadripartite structure encoding 125 unique genes. Phylogenomic analysis places A. acuminatus as sister to Lysionotus. This study provides a genomic resource for molecular identification and conservation of this medicinal plant.
