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