Abstract
Located in the interior of Asia, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the largest plateau in China and the highest plateau in the world. It is also known as the “Roof of the world” and the “third pole”. The various nature reserves on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are a treasure house of natural resources with the strangest ecological environment and the richest biological resources on the roof of the world. They are of high scientific value. This chapter will describe the chloroplast genome characteristics of several plants on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, such as Aster, Asterothamnus centraliasiaticus, Aster altaicus, Corethrodendron multijugum, Clematis nannophylla, and so on.
