The complete chloroplast genome of Eremurus robustus (Asphodelaceae)

Eremurus robustus Regel (Eremurus, Asphodelaceae) is an ornamental plant and endemic to the Tien Shan and Pamir Alai mountains. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of E. robustus was determined. The cp genome of E. robustus is 155,647 bp in length consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,776 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,786 bp, and a pair of identical inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26,490 bp. The cp genome encodes 114 unique genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNAs and 30 transfer RNAs. Among them, ten coding genes contained one intron each and two genes (clpP and ycf3) contained two introns each. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrates a close relationship between genus Aloe with genus Eremurus.
