Abstract:
Hemerocallis minor is a kind of wild plant with high ornamental value. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of H. minor by using Illumina sequencing techniques. The whole chloroplast genome was 156,063 bp in size, consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,820 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,505 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) regions of 26,369 bp. The chloroplast genome contained 134 genes in total, including 88 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC content was 37.34%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that H. minor was closely related to Hemerocallis citrina of the same genus.
