The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Clintonia udensis (Liliaceae).

ABSTRACT

The whole chloroplast genome of Clintonia udensis, an import Chinese medicinal herb, was determined by Illumina sequencing data in this study. The cp genome is 153,160 bp in length, with a large single-copy region (LSC) of 83,901 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 17,241 bp and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26,009 bp. It contains 132 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 5 pseudogenes. The overall GC content was 37.3%, while the corresponding values in the LSC, SSC and IR region are 35.1, 31.0, and 42.8%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Clintonia udensis was related to Lilioideae species in Liliaceae.
