Article Abstract

(Asphodelaceae) has been wildly cultivated as ornamental and medicinal plant. Here, we reported the first chloroplast genome sequence of . The chloroplast genome size is 156,088 bp with GC content of 37.3%, including a large single-copy (LSC) of 84,843 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) of 18,507 bp, and a pair of 26,369 bp IR(inverted repeat) regions. A total of 133 genes were annotated including 87 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that belongs to the genus in Asphodelaceae family.

The chloroplast genome is an important tool for studying plant classification, evolution, and the heterologous production of secondary metabolites and protein drugs. With advancements in sequencing technology and reductions in sequencing costs, chloroplast genome data have rapidly accumulated. However, existing chloroplast genome databases suffer from issues such as incomplete data, inadequate management, and inconsistent, inaccurate information, posing significant challenges for the development and utilization of the chloroplast genome.

With the development of molecular pharmacognosy, the advantages of DNA molecular markers in the identification of original plants of Chinese medicinal materials are becoming increasingly significant. To compensate for the limitations of existing markers in the quality supervision of Chinese medicinal materials, our team has independently designed a new molecular marker named DNA signature sequence(DSS). This marker is a nucleotide sequence that only appears in a specific taxonomic unit, with a length of 40 bp and high identification accuracy.
