Abstract

Hemerocallis fulva L. is a traditional Chinese medicine. The flowers of H. fulva are used in ethnic medicine to treat various diseases, including certain central nervous system diseases. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast genome of H. 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 the H. fulva and species of Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge, Liriope muscari, and Liriope spicata were clustered together. This chloroplast genome sequencing offers genetic background for conservation and phylogenetic studies.

摘要

萱草是一种传统中药。H. fulva的花在民族医学中用于治疗各种疾病，包括某些中枢神经系统疾病。在这项研究中，我们表征了H.fulva的完整叶绿体基因组。它的长度为156,059 bp，编码87个蛋白质编码基因，38个转移RNA（tRNA）基因和8个核糖体RNA（rRNA）基因。系统学分析表明，H。fulva和知母种，鹅掌Li和鹅掌Li聚在一起。叶绿体基因组测序为保存和系统发育研究提供了遗传背景。
