Abstract

Iris loczyi is a perennial rhizomatous herb distributed in Central Asia. We examined genomic architecture of the complete chloroplast genome in I. loczyi by assembling the Illumina MiSeq reads using de novo strategy. The chloroplast genome is 150,940 bp in length harboring 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. It exhibits typical quadripartite structure comprising LSC (80,907 bp), SSC (17,853 bp), and a pair of IRs (26,090 bp). Phylogenetic analysis of 20 chloroplast genomes from Asparagales revealed that Iridaceae is a monophyletic group and the I. loczyi is clustered together with the congener, I. sanguinea.
