The complete chloroplast genome of Hippeastrum vittatum (Amaryllidaceae).

ABSTRACT: Hippeastrum vittatum (L'Hér.) Herb. is a perennial herb in the Amaryllidaceae, which has been used as a medicinal and ornamental plant. Here, we assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of H. vittatum by high throughput sequencing. As a result, the length of the complete cp genome is 158,082 bp with a canonical quadripartite structure, consists of a large single-copy region (LSC) of 86,165 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,283 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,817 bp, each. A total of 137 genes were identified, including 87 protein-coding genes, 42 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenomic analysis was performed based on the complete cp genomes of 30 species, which revealed the closest relationship between H. vittatum
