The complete chloroplast genome of a Korean endemic ornamental plant Hosta yingeri S. B. Jones (Asparagaceae)

Abstract

Hosta yingeri is a perennial herbal ornamental plant belonging to the Asparagaceae family and an endemic species distributed in islands of Korea. In this study, complete chloroplast genome sequence of H. yingeri was characterized through de novo assembly with next generation sequencing data. The chloroplast genome is 156,756 bp in length and contains four rRNA genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 77 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated a close relationship of H. yingeri with other species belonging to the subfamily Agavoideae in Asparagaceae.
