The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hemerocallis fulva

Hemerocallis fulvaL. is a traditional Chinese medicine. The flowers ofH. fulvaare used in ethnic medicine to treat various diseases, including certain central nervous system diseases. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast genome ofH. fulva. It is 156,059 bp in length and encodes 87 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The phylogenomic analysis showed that theH. fulvaand species ofAnemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge,Liriope muscari, andLiriope spicatawere clustered together. This chloroplast genome sequencing offers genetic background for conservation and phylogenetic studies.
