Abstract
Lycoris aurea (L’Hér.) Herb is a herb widely growing in Chinese southen region, such as Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian , Yunnan and Sichuan provinces. It not only has medicinal value, but also can be used as ornamental garden plant. The circular chloroplast genome of L. aurea was 158,690 bp in size, consisting of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (26,782 bp) separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region (85,467 bp) and a small single-copy (SSC) region (18,541 bp) regions. And, it contained 127 genes, including 38 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes and 81 mRNA genes. The overall GC content of L. aurea is 37.73%. Phylogenetic analysis strongly supported that L. aurea and its congeneric species, L. radiata and L. squamigera, as sister group with 100% bootstrap value.
