Abstract

Lilium amoenum E. H. Wilson ex Sealy is classified in Liliaceae, and it is an important ornamental plant with wonderful rose-red color and pleasant rose fragrance. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of L. amoenum by Illumina Hiseq X Ten and PacBio RS technologies. The genome size of L. amoenum is 152,280 bp, and displays a typical quadripartite structure: one large single-copy (LSC, 81,977 bp), one small single-copy (SSC, 17,539 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26,382 bp). The overall GC content was 37.0%. The complete genome contained 131 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that L. amoenum is closely related to L. taliense and L. bakerianum. The present study could afford crucial genetic information for further researches on the genus and related genera.

Keywords: Chloroplast genome; Lilium amoenum; phylogenetic analysis.
