This work determined and analyzed the complete chloroplast genome sequence of
Amorphophallus konjac
K. Koch ex N.E.Br 1858 from Yunnan, China. The genome size was 167,470 bp, of which contains a large single-copy region (LSC 93,443 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC 21,575 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IR 26,226 bp). The chloroplast genome has 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs. A previous study reported deletion of
acc
D,
psb
E, and
trn
G-GCC genes in the
A. konjac
chloroplast genome. Our study supports the conservative structure of
A. konjac
and does not support the gene deletion mentioned above. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that
A. konjac
shares a close relationship with another
A. konjac
(collected from Guizhou) and
A. titanium
by forming a clade in the genus
Amorphophallus
. Our results provide some useful information to the evolution of the family Araceae.
