Mitochondrial DNA B Resour. 2022 Jan 5;7(1):175-176. doi: 10.1080/23802359.2021.2017370. eCollection 2022.

Abstract

In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Clivia robusta for the first time. The complete chloroplast genome of C. robusta was 157,130 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC, 85,430 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,278 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26,711 bp). The overall GC content was 38.01%. The chloroplast genome contained 128 genes in total, including 86 protein-coding, 34 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree showed that C. robusta formed a monophyletic clade with other Clivia species.

Keywords: Clivia robusta; chloroplast genome sequence; phylogenetic tree.
