Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Amomum villosum

Abstract

The first complete chloroplast genome of Amomum villosum (Zingiberaceae) was reported in this study. The A. villosum genome was 163,608 bp in length, and comprised a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 29,820 bp each, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,680 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 15,288 bp. It encoded 141 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes (79 PCG species), 46 tRNA genes (28 tRNA species), and 8 rRNA genes (4 rRNA species). The overall AT content was 63.92%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that A. villosum was closely related to two species Amomum kravanh and Amomum compactum within the genus Amomum in family Zingiberaceae.
