The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hippeastrum rutilum (Amaryllidoideae)

Abstract Hippeastrum rutilum is one of the world’s important ornamental plants. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of H. rutilum by whole-genome data. The whole cp genome is 158,357 bp in length, consisting of two inverted repeat regions (IR, 26,817 bp), one large single-copy region (LSC, 86,451 bp), and one small single-copy region (SSC, 18,272 bp). A total of 133 genes annotated for the chloroplast genome, including 87 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis pointed to that H. rutilum was closely related to Narcissus poeticus and Lycoris radiata.

Hippeastrum rutilum is a perennial herb in the Amaryllidoideae family, which is native to Brazil. H. rutilum is also an important ornamental plant all over the world. The flowers of H. rutilum are beautifully shaped and brightly colored. Now it is widely cultivated in tropical, subtropical areas. However, its phylogenetic relationships are rather limited. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of H. rutilum, which would be helpful for its genetic and evolutionary research.
The sample of H. rutilum was collected from the Longhai County, Zhangzhou City, China, located at 24 11 0 24 36 0 N and 117 29 0 118 14 0 E. The specimen was stored at specimen room of Zhangzhou Institute of Technology (specimen NO. ZITP2019830). The genomic DNA of H. rutilum was extracted from leaves by plant genomic DNA kit (Tiangen Biotech, Beijing, China) and sequenced using the Illumina Novaseq platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA). The cp genome was assembled by the GetOrganelle (Jin et al. 2018) and then annotated with the Geseq (Tillich et al. 2017) online software with Manual correction. Finally, a complete chloroplast genome of H. rutilum was obtained and submitted to GenBank with the accession number MT133568 and the link is https:// www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/MT133568.
The complete cp genome of H. rutilum is 1,58,357 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,451 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,272 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,817 bp. The new sequence has 133 genes in total, including 87 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. In addition, the overall GC content of the genome is 37.93%, whereas the corresponding ratios of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 54.59, 11.54, and 33.87%, respectively.
