The complete chloroplast genome of Typhonium giganteum (Araceae)

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Typhonium giganteum, a species of the Araceae family, was characterized from the de novo assembly of HiSeq (Illumina Co.) paired-end sequencing data. The chloroplast genome of T. giganteum was 165,289 bp in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 91,747 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 22,550 bp, and a pair of identical inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,496 bp. The genome contained a total of 132 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The phylogenetic analysis of T. giganteum with 12 related species revealed the closest taxonomical relationship with Pinellia pedatisecta in the Araceae.
