Abstract

Lilium pumilum DC. is a useful plant species not only for its showy flowers but also for its edible and medicinal values. Here we report on the complete chloroplast genome sequence of L. pumilum. The chloroplast genome is 152,573 bp in size and includes two inverted repeat regions of 52,984 bp, which is separated by a large single-copy region of 82,009 bp and a small single copy region of 17,580 bp. A total of 130 genes were predicted, including 38 tRNA, 8 rRNA, and 84 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis placed L. pumilum under the family Liliaceae.

Keywords: Chloroplast; Genome sequence; High-throughput sequencing; Lilium pumilum.
