The complete chloroplast genome of Nomocharis pardanthina

Abstract

Nomocharis pardanthina Franchet (Liliaceae) is an endangered species naturally distributed in China. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of N. pardanthina was generated by de novo assembly using whole genome next generation sequencing data. The chloroplast genome of N. pardanthina was 152,718 bp in length and divided into four distinct regions, such as large single copy region (82,154 bp), small single copy region (17,524 bp) and a pair of inverted repeat regions (26,520 bp). The genome annotation predicted a total of 112 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with the reported chloroplast genomes revealed that N. pardanthina is nested in Lilium and has close relationship to L. bakerianum and L. taliense.
