Chloroplast genome of Crinum latifolium
Crinum latifolium L., commonly known as the pink-striped trumpet lily, is known to contain several bioactive Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, including lycorine, crinamine, haemanthamine, hippadine, and related crinine-type alkaloids. Extracts and alkaloids derived from C. latifolium have been incorporated into several herbal formulations and pharmaceutical products used for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, inflammatory disorders, and supportive cancer therapy in Vietnam. However, the complete chloroplast genome of C. latifolium has not been fully characterized, limiting our understanding of its evolutionary history and phylogenetic placement. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the complete chloroplast genome of C. latifolium and traced its phylogenetic position within the family Amaryllidaceae.
