The complete chloroplast genome of Asparagus densiflorus (Kunth) Jessop L.

Abstract

Asparagus densiflorus (Kunth) Jessop L. is a horticultural plant widely cultivated in China. Herein, we reported the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of A. densiflorus from the genus Asparagus. The entire cp genome of A. densiflorus was 157,141 bp in length with one large single-copy region of 91,255 bp and one small single-copy region of 20,355 bp, separated by a pair of inverted-repeat regions of 45,531 bp. The GC content is 36.46% in this cp genome. A total of 134 genes were annotated including 90 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed that A. densiflorus was the most closely related to Asparagus cochinchinensis.
