Abstract:
Hosta plantaginea is an important ornamental and horticultural plant endemic to China. In this study, we generated complete chloroplast genome of H. plantaginea using high-throughput sequencing. The complete chloroplast sequence is a circular molecule of 157,091 bp in size, consisting of a large single copy (LSC, 86,061 bp) and a small single copy (SSC; 18,282 bp) separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs; 26,374 bp), The total GC content is 37.8%, with 35.9, 31.7, and 43.0% in LSC, SSC, and IRs, respectively. A total of 132 genes are annotated, including 84 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNAs, 8 rRNAs, and 2 pseudogenes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that H. plantaginea was formed to be the early diverging species within Hosta.
