The complete chloroplast genome assembly of Amorphophallus krausei Engler, Pflanzenr 1911 (Araceae) from southwestern China.

ABSTRACT: Plants in the genus Amorphophallus, many of which possess high konjac glucomannan content, are considered important cash crops in many Asian countries. Wild relatives of cultivated Amorphophallus species are valuable resources for the genetic improvement of these crops. To aid in future genetic research of wild germplasm resources of Amorphophallus, a single individual of Amorphophallus krausei Engler, Pflanzenr 1911 was collected from southwestern China, and its chloroplast genome was sequenced using next-generation sequencing technologies. The assembled chloroplast genome was 172,418 bp in length with a GC content of 35.23% (GenBank accession no. OR416863). A typical quadripartite structure was found in the genome, which was comprised of one large single-copy
