The characteristics and analysis of the complete chloroplast genome of Hemerocallis cultivar Small orange lamp 2019 (Asphodelaceae)

Hemerocallis cultivar Small orange lamp is a hybrid variety. Its whole chloroplast genome was 156,053 bp in size, consisting of 135 genes in total, including 89 mRNA genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The chloroplast genome contained a large single copy region (LSC 84,805 bp), a small single copy region (SSC 18,510 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb 26,369 bp). The overall GC content was 37.34%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus and H. cultivar Small orange lamp are most closely related. This will provide valuable reference for further research on the genetic information of plants in the Hemerocallis.
