Abstract

Epipremnum aureum is known as devil’s ivy as it stays green even when kept in the dark. It is an important foliage plant in the Araceae family. In this study, we reported and characterized the complete chloroplast genome sequence of E. aureum 'Neon', a variety that has solid yellow-green leaves with no variegation, obtained using next-generation sequencing. The chloroplast genome was determined to be 163,961 bp in length. It contained large single-copy (LSC) and small single copy (SSC) regions of 89,728 and 22,259 bp, respectively, which were separated by a pair of 25,987 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The genome is predicted to contain 122 genes, including 77 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the genome is 36.1%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 20 chloroplast genomes reveals that E. aureum ‘Neon’ is most closely related to Zantedeschia aethiopica in Araceae.
