Iris tectorum (I. tectorum) has a high medicinal value that belongs to the family Iridaceae. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequences of I. tectorum, which was 153,199 bp in length. The cp genome was characterized by a typical quadripartite structure composed of an LSC (82,779 bp) and an SSC (18,562 bp) region interspersed by a pair of 25,929 bp IR regions, and it contained 87 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNAs, 38 tRNAs. A maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree indicated that I. tectorum was closely related to Iris gatesii.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
