Abstract

Abstract: The complete chloroplast genome of an important medicinal plant, Convallaria majalis Linnaeus, was sequenced for the first time. The entire circular genome is 162, 218 bp in length, with 37.9% GC contents. The genome has consisted of a large single-copy region (LSC) with a length of 85, 417 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) with a length of 18, 495 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRs) with a length of 29, 153 bp each. The genome harbored 133 genes, including 87 protein coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree of 24 plant species was constructed based on the maximum-likelihood method. This study will provide theoretical basis for further study on plant genetics phylogenetic research.
