This study reported the complete chloroplast genome of Belamcanda chinensis, providing detailed information on its genome length, GC content, and structure, along with determining its phylogenetic relationship with other plants through maximum likelihood analysis. The findings will be beneficial for the conservation and breeding programs of Belamcanda chinensis.
The species of Belamcanda chinensis (L.) Redoute. is one of the Chinese traditional medicinal herb. In this study, we first report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of B. chinensis. The chloroplast (cp) genome was determined to be 153,735 bp and the GC contents was 37.9%. The sequence includes a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83, 199 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,168 bp, and two separated inverted regions of 26,184 bp each. It contains 132 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Based on 10 chloroplast genomes data, the maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis revealed that B. chinensis was sister to Iris (Bootstrap = 100%) within Iridaceae. This result will be helpful for the conservation and breeding programs of the B. chinensis.
