The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the medicinal plant Iphigenia indica Kunth (Liliaceae)

Iphigenia indica is a medicinal plant commonly used in southwest of China. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of I. indica to investigate its phylogenetic relationship in the family Liliaceae. The total length of the chloroplast genome was 158,319 bp, with 30.6% overall GC content, a pair of IRs (inverted repeats) of 28,055 bp was separated by a small single copy (SSC) region of 16,900 bp and a large single copy (LSC) region of 85,309 bp. The cp genome contained 111 genes, including 77 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated Iphigenia was closely related to Asparagus.
