Abstract:
Paris delavayi Franchet is a perennial herb of the family Melanthiaceae. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of P. delavayi was characterized. The cp genome is 164,195 bp in length and contains a pair of inverted repeats (33,415 bp) separated by a large (84,400 bp) and small (12,965 bp) single-copy regions. A total of 112 unique genes were predicted, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that P. delavayi is sister to P. mairei but with low support.
