Abstract:
In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Clivia robusta for the first time. The complete chloroplast genome of C. robusta was 157,130 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC, 85,430 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,278 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26,711 bp). The overall GC content was 38.01%. The chloroplast genome contained 128 genes in total, including 86 protein-coding, 34 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree showed that C. robusta formed a monophyletic clade with other Clivia species.

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.
