The complete chloroplast genome of Eremurus zoae (Asphodelaceae), an endemic species in Kyrgyzstan
Eremurus zoae is a perennial herbaceous plant in family Asphodelaceae that is endemic to Kyrgyzstan. However, the phylogenetic study of E. zoae is lacking. Here, we investigated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of E. zoae using next-generation sequencing. The cp genome was 153,744 bp in length, with large single copy (84,020 bp), small single copy (16,766 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (26,479 bp). The genome encodes 132 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. phylogenetic analysis revealed that the subfamily Asphodelaceae forms a monophyletic group, and E. zoae was closely related to E. chinensis. This study will provide a sound foundation for the conservation of E. zoae and future phylogenetic studies on Eremurus.
