Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Allium kingdonii

Abstract Allium kingdonii is an endemic species in southeastern Tibet, China. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of A. kingdonii using the next generation sequencing method. The chloroplast genome of A. kingdonii was 153,559 bp in length which was composed of four unique regions, including a large single copy region (LSC) of 83,423？bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 17,810？bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions with 26,163？bp. The genome annotation predicted 132 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic tree analyses suggested that A. kingdonii was closely clustered with A. paradoxum
