Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Allium tuberosum

Abstract Allium tuberosum is a popular vegetable, condiment, and even a traditional Chinese medicine. Here, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Allium tuberosum was reported. The size of the chloroplast genome is 154,056？bp in length, including a large single copy region (LSC) of 83,068？bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 17,958？bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions with 26,515？bp. The Allium tuberosum chloroplast genome encodes 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic tree analysis suggested that Allium tuberosum was closely related to Allium sativum
