Abstract:
The complete chloroplast genome of Clivia miniata var. citrina was assembled and subjected to phylogenetic analysis in this study. The complete chloroplast genome of C. miniata var. citrina was 158,112 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC, 86,202 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,334 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26,788 bp). The GC content was 37.97%. A total of 130 genes were annotated, including 86 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. miniata var. citrina was the most related with C. miniata and they formed a monophyletic group that was sister to the clade of Hippeastrum, Leucojum, Narcissus and Lysoris.

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.
