Abstract:
Lilium distichum is a native lily species in Korea, northeastern China and far eastern Russia. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of L. distichum was generated by de novo assembly using whole genome next generation sequences. The chloroplast genome of L. distichum was 152 598 bp in length and divided into four distinct regions, such as large single copy region (82 031 bp), small single copy region (17 487 bp) and a pair of inverted repeat regions (26 540 bp). The genome annotation predicted a total of 112 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes,and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with the reported chloroplast genomes revealed that L. distichum is most closely related to L. superbum (Turk's-cap lily).

Two models describe the mechanism of precursor recognition and entry across the outer membrane through the TOC complex. Model 1 suggests the newly synthesized precursor binds to the TOC receptor 159 and forms a complex.
