Abstract

Magic Lily (Lycoris squamigera), belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family, is cultivated for ornamental and medicinal purposes. To characterize its genomic information, we obtained the complete chloroplast genome sequence of L. squamigera by assembling Illumina whole genome sequence data. The complete chloroplast genome is 158,482 bp in length which is composed of four unique regions, a large single copy region (LSC) of 86,454 bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,500 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IR) of 26,764 bp. The genome annotation predicted 159 genes including 105 protein-coding genes, 46 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that L. squamigera clustered with Allium species belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family.
