Cardiospermum halicacabum L., a notable species of the genus Cardiospermum, is well-known for its culinary and medicinal properties. Nonetheless, a detailed description of the C. halicacabum chloroplast's phylogeny and genes is still absent. We present the findings of an in-depth investigation of the chloroplast genome of C. halicacabum. The circular, 159,370 bp chloroplast genome of C. halicacabum has a 37.91% GC content. There are 134 genes in the circular genome, comprising 89 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. There are 28 repeats of a simple sequence. A comparison of the chloroplast genomes of five related species reveals differences in the contraction and expansion of the reverse repeat region between C. halicacabum and other Sapindaceae. Our phylogenetic study reveals that C. halicacabum has a close connection with S. erecta. The chloroplast genome of C. halicacabum has been studied, which has helped us better understand the evolutionary links among Sapindaceae species.

Symphonia globulifera (Clusiaceae) has emerged as a model organism in tropical forest ecology and evolution due to its significant ecological role and complex biogeographical history. Originating from Africa, this species has independently colonized Caribbean, Central and South America three times, becoming a key component of tropical ecosystems across these regions. Despite the ecological importance of S.

Hayata 1916 is a unique bamboo species endemic to Taiwan, typically found at elevations ranging from 500 to 1,500 meters. This study provides a detailed analysis of the complete chloroplast genome of for the first time. The genome spans 139,664 base pairs (bp) and consists of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,192 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,869 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions, each 21,798 bp in length.

Linnaeus 1753 is a herbaceous perennial medicinal plant of the family Scrophulariaceae, native throughout eastern and central North America. In this study, the first complete chloroplast genome of was reported and phylogenetic analysis was conducted with other 11 species from Scrophulariaceae. The chloroplast genome was 152,414 bp with 132 genes and includes a large single-copy (LSC) region (83,583 bp), a small single-copy (SSC) region (17,925 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat (IRs) regions (25,453 bp).
