The complete chloroplast genome of an endangered plant-Nomocharis aperta.

ABSTRACT: Nomocharis aperta is an endangered and endemic species with high ornamental value in China. In this study, we reported a complete chloroplast genome of N. aperta, which was de novo assembled using the next-generation sequencing data. The complete chloroplast genome is 152,845 in length, including a large single copy region of 70,506 bp and a small single copy region of 17,468 bp and two inverted repeat regions of 26,520 bp. A total of 130 functional genes were encoded, consisting of 84 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. The overall AT content of the chloroplast genome is 63.00%. In addition, phylogenetic analysis with the reported chloroplast genomes showed that N. aperta is nested within Lilium and close to L. henr
