First record of the complete chloroplast genome of Polygonatum infundiflorum (Asparagaceae), a Korean endemic species.

Polygonatum infundiflorum Y.S. Kim, B.U. Oh & C.G. Jang et al. 1998 is a Korean endemic species. This is first report on the complete chloroplast genome sequence of P. infundiflorum . The complete chloroplast genome length was 154,578 bp with a GC content of 37.7%. The large single-copy (LSC) region was 83,527 bp long, and the small single-copy (SSC) region was 18,457 bp long. The paired inverted repeats (IRs) were 26,297 bp and separated the LCS and SSC regions. There were 113 genes, comprising 78 protein-coding genes, four rRNA genes, 30 tRNA genes, and one pseudogene ( infA ). In total, 16 genes contained one intron, and two genes contained two introns. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that Polygonatum was divided into three sections, each forming a monophyletic group. P. infundiflorum was sister to P. macropodum and formed a monophyletic group with P. inflatum . This study provides basic information for future research and contributes to taxonomic and genetic studies on Polygonatum .
