Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of <i>Ajania fastigiata</i> (Aasteraceae)
<i>Ajania fastigiata</i> is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant native to northwestern China. Here, we sequenced and assembled its complete chloroplast genome using Illumina data. The complete chloroplast genome of A. fastigiata is 151,118 bp in length and has a typical quadripartite structure, containing 132 genes (87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA, and 4 rRNA). A phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. fastigiata clusters with A. khartensis and A. nematoloba in a well-supported clade with high bootstrap values. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of A. fastigiata may provide valuable genomic resources for studying the systematic evolution of the Asteraceae family.
