Mitochondrial DNA B Resour. 2017 Dec 20;3(1):30-31. doi: 10.1080/23802359.2017.1419090.

Abstract

The flower shape of Lilium bulbiferum L. is different from that of the other European lilies. The phylogenetic position of the plant has been changed frequently. In the present study, we have sequenced the complete plastome of L. bulbiferum. The plastome sequence was 152,686 bp long, with a large single copy (LSC) region of 82,083 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 17,619 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,492 bp each. It contained 133 genes, including 83 coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNAs, 38 transfer RNAs, and 4 pseudogenes. The GC contents of LSC, SSC, and IT were 34.8%, 30.7%, and 42.5%, respectively, corresponding to 37.0% of the total GC content. The phylogenetic position of L. bulbiferum was closely related to the north-eastern lilies.
