Tulipa uniflora (L.) Besser ex Baker (1874) is a type species of the subgenus Orithyia (D.Don) Baker, which is distributed in China, Mongolia, and Russia (Siberia). This study reports the complete chloroplast genome sequence of T. uniflora based on high-throughput sequencing. The genome has a natural quadripartite structure and is 152,254 bp long with 36.5% GC content. It has 98 unique genes, including 4 rRNA, 29 tRNA, and 75 protein-coding genes. A total of 77 single-sequence repeats were identified, mostly in the intergenic spacer region. Anticodon recognition patterns revealed 19,717 codons in protein-coding genes. Based on the whole chloroplast genome, T. uniflora was separated early from the other Tulipa species. Less...
