The complete chloroplast genome of Tulipa altaica (Liliaceae), a wild relative of tulip

Abstract

Tulipa L. (Liliaceae) is among the world's most beloved and economically important ornamental bulbs. Here, we reported the first chloroplast genome sequence of Tulipa. The plastome of T. altaica is 146,887 bp in length, including a large single-copy (LSC) of 78,433 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) of 16,628 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 25,913 bp. It contains 111 unique genes consisting of 77 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that Tulipa is sister to the clade formed by Erythronium and Amana.
