The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Lilium fargesii (Lilium, Liliaceae)

Lilium fargesii Franchet is an endangered species endemic to China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome has been generated from the Next Generation Sequencing. The whole genome is 153,235 bp in length, and includes one large single copy region of 82,217 bp, one small single copy region of 17,038 bp and a pair of inverted repeat region of 26,990 bp. It contains 132 genes, comprising 86 protein-coding genes (78 PCG species), 38 transfer RNA (30 tRNA species) and eight ribosomal RNA genes (four rRNA species). In the maximum likelihood tree, all species of Lilium were clustered into two monophyletic groups with 100 % bootstrap value.
