belongs to Dioscorea genus, which is considered as one of the most popular food and traditional folk medicine in China. The complete chloroplast genome of was determined in this study. The total genome size was 153,219 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,477 bp, which were separated by large single copy (LSC) and small single copy (SSC) of 83,448 bp and 18,817 bp, respectively. The GC content is 37.01%. A total of 129 genes were predicted including 84 protein-coding genes, eight rRNA genes and 37 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic tree analysis of 24 species in the genus Dioscorea indicated that was closer to Chinese yam, but has remote phylogenetic relationship with Guinea yam.
属于薯蓣属,该属被认为是中国最受欢迎的食物和传统民间药物之一。本研究测定了其完整的叶绿体基因组。基因组全长153,219bp,包含一对25,477bp的反向重复序列(IRs),它们被分别为83,448bp的大单拷贝(LSC)和18,817bp的小单拷贝(SSC)隔开。GC含量为37.01%。共预测到129个基因,包括84个蛋白质编码基因、8个rRNA基因和37个tRNA基因。对薯蓣属24个物种的系统发育树分析表明,其与山药亲缘关系较近,但与几内亚薯蓣的系统发育关系较远。
