Abstract
The complete plastome of Sanguinaria canadensis was sequenced, which is 160,117 bp in length, consisting of 87699 bp large single-copy (LSC), a 19,136 bp small single copy (SSC), and a pair of 26,638 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The S. canadensis plastome encodes 137 annotated genes including 37 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 89 protein coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis strongly supported that it is a member of Chelidonieae.
