Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Impatiens pritzelii (Balsaminaceae): an endemic species from China

This study was the first report about complete chloroplast genome of Impatiens pritzelii (Balsaminaceae). The plastome of I. pritzelii was found to possess a total length 152,487 bp with the typical quadripartite structure of angiosperms, containing two inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,684 bp separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 83,290 and 17,829 bp, respectively. The plastid genome of I. pritzelii contains 113 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of I. pritzelii plastid genome is 37.0% and the corresponding values in LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.9%, 29.8%, and 43.1%, respectively.
