(Polygonaceae) is a fairly common perennial herb of high altitudes. In this study, we determined the complete chloroplast genome (plastome) of with genome-skimming method. The complete plastome of was 159,110 bp in length with a quadripartite structure, including a large single-copy region of 84,810 bp, a small single-copy region of 13,044 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats regions of 30,628 bp. The overall guanine-cytosine (GC) content was 37.5%. A total of 112 unique genes was annotated in this plastome, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. In the ML tree, was sister to , and was sister to a clade comprising and within Polygonaceae famliy.

Introduction: Rice is mainly consumed by half of the world's population. The imminent climate change and population growth expected in the next 30 years will outpace the current rice production capacity, posing risks to food and nutrition security in developing nations. One simplified approach to address this challenge is to improve photosynthetic capacity by increasing chlorophyll content in leaves and stems.

Background: Advances in DNA sequencing technology have led to a rapid increase in the number of species with organelle genomes and even complete nuclear genomes being sequenced. Thousands of plastid genomes from across all major clades of land plants are now available, and one of the surprising findings is the recurring event of complete or functional loss of genes involved in cyclic electron transport during photosynthesis - the ndh genes that encode subunits of the chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex. Gene loss in non-photosynthetic, heterotrophic plants may be expected, but the increasing number of losses being discovered in autotrophic plants questions the role and potential dispensability of the ndh genes and the entire NDH complex.

and , belonging to the genus , are ethnomedicinal plants that contain valuable medicinal and nutritional compounds. However, their medicinal materials are frequently confused in the Chinese medicinal materials market. Moreover, molecular genomic resources for this genus remain limited, which hinders phylogenetic studies.
