Opisthopappus taihangensis(Y. Ling) C. Shih is native to China with restricted distribution area, important ornamental and medicinal value. In order to study codon usage bias in O. taihangensis(Y. Ling) C. Shih chloroplast genome, in this study, 53 protein coding sequences with the length longer than 300 bp in O. taihangensis chloroplast genome were taken as the object, the factors influencing codon usage bias and the optimal codon in O. taihangensis chloroplast genome were analyzed by softwares such as Codon W. The results showed that GC content was different at three sites of codon in the O. taihangensis chloroplast genome with GC1(38.82%) > GC2(37.87%) > GC3(36.35%), and all the condon preferred the ends with A/T. The average value of effective number of codon(ENC) was 50.95, indicating the codon usage randomness was strong and bias was weak in O. taihangensis chloroplast genome. Correlation analysis indicated that ENC had only significant correlation with GC3, showing that GC3 had an important influence on codon usage bias and it was related to the generally lower probability of non synonymous mutations in plants. The results of neutral plotting, ENC-plot, and PR2-plot analysis showed that the factors influencing codon usage bias in O. taihangensis chloroplast genome were natural selection and mutation, but natural selection played the major role, this was attributed to the specific evolutionary history and environmental adaption strategy of O. taihangensis. In addition, based on ENC values, the high and low expression gene library was constructed and 22 codons including UUU, UUA, CUU and AUU etc. were defined as the optimal codons and all had the ends with A or U, which may be attributed to the specific transcription regulatory mechanism.
