The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Anthurium andraeanum Linden (Araceae; Pothoideae)

Abstract

The chloroplast genome of Anthurium andraeanum Linden 1877 was assembled and analyzed in this study. The genome size is 162,560 bp, of which contains a large single-copy (LSC) region with 88,814 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region with 22,856 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRA and IRB) with 25,445 bp, respectively. The plastome contains 124 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNAs, six rRNAs and one pseudogene. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that A. andraeanum is a member of Pothoideae and sister to A. huixtlense.
