The complete chloroplast genome sequence of <i>Lemna turionifera</i> (Araceae)

<i>Lemna turionifera</i> is native to North America and northern Asia, with significant potential for industrial wastewater remediation. The complete nucleotide sequence of the <i>L. turionifera</i> chloroplast genome (cpDNA) was determined. The cpDNA is a circular molecule of 166,606 bp and containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) measuting 31,663 bp each. These IRs are flanked by a small single-copy region of 13,542 bp and a large single-copy region of 89,738 bp. The chloroplast genome of <i>L. turionifera</i> consisted of 112 unique genes, including 78 protein-encoding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis utilizing cpDNA provided a well-supported resolution of the relationships among subfamilies within the Araceae family. Our findings indicated a close relationship between <i>L. turionifera</i> and a clade consisting of <i>L. minor</i>, <i>L. japonica</i>, and <i>L. gibba</i>. The availability of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of <i>L. turionifera</i> presents valuable data for future phylogenetic investigations within the Lemnaceae family.
