Abstract
The complete chloroplast sequence of the Spathiphyllum kochii is 163 368 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeats of 25 270 bp separated by a large single-copy region and a small single-copy region of 90 482 bp and 22 346 bp, respectively. The chloroplast genome encodes 133 predicted functional genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, four ribosomal RNA genes and 37 transfer RNA genes, 18 of which are duplicated in the inverted repeat regions. The cpDNA is GC-rich (37.6%). The chloroplast genome of S. kochii reported here will lay basis for identification, utilization and protection of its germplasm resources.
