The complete chloroplast genome of <i>Hemerocallis citrina</i> (Asphodelaceae), an ornamental and medicinal plant

Abstract

<i>Hemerocallis citrina</i> (Asphodelaceae) has been wildly cultivated as ornamental and medicinal plant. Here, we reported the first chloroplast genome sequence of <i>H. citrina</i>. The chloroplast genome size is 156,088 bp with GC content of 37.3%, including a large single-copy (LSC) of 84,843 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) of 18,507 bp, and a pair of 26,369 bp IR(inverted repeat) regions. A total of 133 genes were annotated including 87 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that <i>H. citrina</i> belongs to the <i>Hemerocallis</i> genus in Asphodelaceae family.
