The complete chloroplast genome sequence of <i>Lilium saccatum</i> S. Yun Liang (Liliaceae, Lilieae) and its phylogenetic analysis

<i>Lilium saccatum</i> is a species of ornamental plant found in southeastern Xizang, China. In the present study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of <i>L. saccatum</i> was sequenced using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The <i>de novo</i> assembled cp genome was 151,839 bp in length, including a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs; 26,421 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC; 17,528 bp), and a large single-copy region (LSC; 81,469 bp). The cp genome encodes 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The total GC content of the cp genome was 37.0%. Phylogenetic analysis of 24 cp genomes revealed that <i>L. saccatum</i> was closely related to <i>L. souliei</i>. This study could provide fundamental information for the phylogenomics and utilization of <i>Lilium</i>.
