Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis is a perennial medical plant widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. The genome is 157 675 bp in length including a small single-copy region (SSC, 18 319 bp) and a large single-copy region (LSC, 84 108 bp) separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 27 624 bp). The genome contained 115 genes, including 81 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 tRNA genes. Among these genes, 13 harbored a single intron and 2 contained a couple of introns. The overall G + C content of the cpDNA is 37.4%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 35.71%, 31.43%, and 41.87%, respectively. A Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis suggested that genus Trillium, Paris, Fritillaria, and Lilium were strongly supported as monophyletic and the P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis is closely related to Trillium.

Paris yunnanensis, also named as Rhizoma Paridis in the Chinese Pharmacopeia, is a perennial Chinese medicinal herb commonly grown in Southwest China. However, several viruses have been found infecting this plant in recent years. Using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and Sanger sequencing, this study obtained the complete genome sequences of three capillovirus isolates and one potyvirus isolate.

Article Synopsis
- A herb, identified as a perennial, possesses notable medicinal benefits including anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties but faced challenges when leaf blight disease appeared in Xiangtan City, impacting approximately 22% of affected plants.
- The disease symptoms began with water-soaked chlorosis in infected leaves, which progressed to dry yellow shrinkage spreading throughout the plants over a significant planting area of about 30,000 m².
- Researchers identified the disease's causal organisms through a series of laboratory techniques, including surface sterilization, culture on specific agar plates, and molecular identification using gene amplification, with results being deposited in GenBank for further study.
