Abstract

Lilium regale E.H.Wilson is a native lily species in western Sichuan of China and an important resource for lily breeding. In this study, the plastid genome of L. regale was assembled de novo using the next-generation sequencing data. The plastid genome of L. regale was 152,998 bp in length, with a typical quadripartite circle structure consisting of a small single-copy region of 17,529 bp, a large single-copy region of 82,375 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats of 26,547 bp each. A total of 137 different genes were predicted, including 84 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 7 pseudogenes. The overall GC content of the plastid genome was 36.98%. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that L. regale is most closely related to Lilium leucanthum.

Keywords: Lilium regale E.H.Wilson; genome sequence; plastid.
