Abstract:
Lycium chinense is an important edible and medicinal plant. Now, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of L. chinense was assembled based on the Illumina sequencing reads. The cp genome of L. chinense was 155,736 bp long and contained two short inverted repeat regions (25,469 bp), which were separated by a small single-copy region (18,206 bp) and a large single-copy region (86,592 bp). The cp genome encodes 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA genes, and 4 ribosomal RNA genes. The topology of the phylogenetic tree showed that L. chinense is closely clustered with species Lycium ruthenicum and Lycium barbarum.
