Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Polygonatum sibiricum (Liliaceae), a well-known herb to China

Abstract Polygonatum sibiricum is a famous and well-known TCH (Traditional Chinese Herb) in China. In this paper, the complete chloroplast genome of P. sibiricum was studied and illustrated to add more genetic information and data. The chloroplast genome is 152,960 bp in length and a typical quadripartite structure, which exhibits a large single-copy region (LSC) of 81,471 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,485 bp and a pair of inverted-repeat regions (IRs) of 26,502 bp in each. The overall nucleotide composition of chloroplast genome is: 30.7% A, 31.4% T, 19.3% C, 18.6% G and the total GC content 37.9%. A total of 136 genes were annotated that included 90 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 38 transfer RNA (tRNAs) and 8 ribosome RNA (rRNAs). The phylogenetic ML tree shown that P. sibiricum is closely related to P. cyrtonema on genetic position relationship by the Maximum-Likelihood (ML) method.
