Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Erigeron breviscapus and Characterization of Chloroplast Regulatory Elements

Erigeron breviscapus is a famous medicinal plant. However, the limited chloroplast genome information of E. breviscapus, especially for the chloroplast DNA sequence resources, has hindered the study of E. breviscapus chloroplast genome transformation. Here, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of E....

Here, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of E. breviscapus was reported.

description Erigeron breviscapus is a famous medicinal plant.
