Abstract
Tulipa sinkiangensis Z. M. Mao 1980 is endemic to Xinjiang Province, China. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of T. sinkiangensis. The complete chloroplast genome of T. sinkiangensis comprises 151,929 bp and was divided into four typical regions: a large single-copy region of 82,062 bp, a pair of inverse repeats of 26,361 bp each, and a small single-copy region of 17,145 bp. A total of 136 genes were identified in this chloroplast, of which 87 were protein-coding, 38 were tRNA, eight were rRNA, and three were pseudogene. The results of this study will provide valuable information for understanding evolution and identification of different species belonging to genus Tulipa.
