Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Allium prattii

Abstract

The genus Allium is one of the world’s largest monocot genera. However, few reports on the complete chloroplast genome of Allium plants are reported. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of Allium prattii. The genome sequence was 154,482 bp in length, including a large single copy region (LSC) of 83,392 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,064 bp, which were separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,513 bp. The complete chloroplast genome contains 131 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with several reported chloroplast genomes showed that A. prattii has a close genetic relationship with A. cepa and A. sativum.
