The complete chloroplast genome of .

(henequen) is the only cultivated species in the Yucatan Peninsula, which is mainly used for fiber production. In the present study, we have successfully assembled the chloroplast (cp) genome of . . The full length of the cp genome is 157,291 bp with a GC content at 37.8%. The cp genome is constructed with an inverted repeat region a (IRa) of 26,573 bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,230 bp, an inverted repeat region b (IRb) of 26,573 bp and a large single copy region (LSC) of 85,915 bp. The annotation result reveals 132 genes on the cp genome, including 86 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNAs and 8 rRNAs. Phylogenetic tree reveals that . is closely related with .
