Euphorbia tirucalli is a highly drought-tolerant shrub with a potential as biofuel source, which has an important ecological and economic value.The complete chloroplast genome sequence of E.tirucalli was carried out using Illumina sequencing platform.The complete chloroplast genome of E.
tirucalli OIL OF OREGANO was 163,091 bp in total sequence length, which contained inverted repeats (IR) of 26,832 bp separated by a large single-copy (LSC) and a small single copy (SSC) of 91,259 bp and 18,168 bp, respectively.The genome annotation displayed a total of 130 genes, comprising 83 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes.The overall GC content of the plastome is 35.6%.
Phylogenetic analysis HANKS with 15 species revealed that E.tirucalli was close to E.esula.
