Abstract:
The complete chloroplast genome of Clivia miniata was assembled in this study. The genome comprised 158,114 bp in length. The GC content was 37.97%. A total of 133 genes are successfully annotated, including 87 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. Seventeen protein-coding genes (tpF, ndhA, ndhB, petB, petD, rpl16, rpl2, rps16, trnA-UGC, trnG-UCC, trnI-GAU, trnK-UUU, trnL-UAA, trnV-UAC, clpP, rps12, ycf3) contained one or two introns. Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that the Clivia miniata is the closest relative with Lycoris radiata, Lycoris squamigera, and Narcissus poeticus.

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.
