The characteristics and analysis of the complete chloroplast genome of Hemerocallis cultivar Small orange lamp 2019 (Asphodelaceae)

Abstract

Hemerocallis cultivar Small orange lamp is a hybrid variety. Its whole chloroplast genome was 156,053 bp in size, consisting of 135 genes in total, including 89 mRNA genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The chloroplast genome contained a large single copy region (LSC 84,805 bp), a small single copy region (SSC 18,510 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb 26,369 bp). The overall GC content was 37.34%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus and H . cultivar Small orange lamp are most closely related. This will provide valuable reference for further research on the genetic information of plants in the Hemerocallis.
