ABSTRACT Rehmanniae radix, as a tonic Chinese medicine, has a good therapeutic effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and central nervous system diseases, and has a good development prospect in the international market. R . glutinosa Libosch has a large number of source varieties, and the wild and cultivated varieties are different types of R . glutinosa Libosch. There has been a lot of controversy in the formulation of scientific names for wild and cultivated types of R . glutinosa Libosch. In order to learn more about the genetic information of wild R . glutinosa Libosch and explore the phylogenetic relationship between wild R . glutinosa Libosch and cultivated R . glutinosa Libosch. In the current study, we constructed and annotated a complete circular chloroplast genome of wild R . glutinosa Libosch. The chloroplast genome of wild R . glutinosa Libosch . is 153,678 bp in length, including two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,759 bp, separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 84,544 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 17,616 bp. The GC content of whole chloroplast genome is 37.9%. The genome contains 133 different genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Among them, 23 genes contained introns, 50 SSR loci and 49 long repeats were found by Microsatellite scan, and codon use showed obvious A, T base preference. Nine variation regions were screened by mVISTA analysis and combined with DnaSP analysis, and psaJ-rpl33 was finally identified as a region with high variation, which could be used as a candidate DNA barcode for later interspecific identification of R . glutinosa Libosch.. Neighbor-joining method phylogenomic analysis showed that wild R . glutinosa Libosch . formed a monophyletic group, and was sister to other groups of R . glutinosa Libosch .The results of this study revealed the chloroplast genome information of wild R . glutinosa Libosch in detail, and found the genetic information difference between wild and cultivated R . glutinosa Libosch . which laid the foundation for the variety identification, genetic engineering, biosynthesis and other studies.
