Abstract

Lilium concolor var. pulchellum is a perennial herbaceous plant with high ornamental and edible value; it is a critical breeding parent of Asiatic hybrids. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of L. concolor var. pulchellum. The total size of the genome is 152,126 bp with a GC content of 37.0%. It has a conserved quadripartite structure comprising 136 genes, including 38 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, 83 protein-coding genes, and 7 pseudogenes. Phylogenetic analysis strongly supported a close relation between L. concolor var. pulchellum and L. callosum. The complete plastome sequence of L. concolor var. pulchellum could provide useful information for phyletic evolution of the genus Lilium.

Keywords: Lilium; Lilium concolor var. pulchellum; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
