Abstract
The complete chloroplast genome of Lilium taliense which is a rare and endangered species native to China was determined in this study. The chloroplast genome is 153,055 bp long and consists of a pair of inverted repeat regions (26,543 bp), one large single copy region (82,458 bp), and one small single copy region (17,511 bp). The genome contains 132 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA gens and eight ribosomal RNA genes. In addition, 188 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified in the L. taliense chloroplast genome. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis with the reported chloroplast genomes revealed that L. taliense was closely related to L. fargesii and L. superbum.
