Abstract:
Albuca bracteata (syn. Ornithogalum caudatum) is an ornamental bulbous plant wth limited plastome data. We assembled its complete chloroplast genome (GenBank PZ425793) from high-throughput sequencing reads. The156.695-bp plastome comprised an 84,786-bp large single-copy region, an 18,555-bp small single-copy region, andtwo 26,677-bp inverted repeats, with 37.66% GC content and 533.8x mean coverage. It contained 113 unique genes79 protein-coding, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes). Phylogenetic analysis placed A. bracteata as sister to Albuca kirki. This plastome supports species authentication and comparative and phylogenetic studies of Ornithogaloideae.
