| Summary: | Ophiopogon japonicus, extensively distributed in East Asia, is widely used in landscaping, the tuber of which also play a vital role in Oriental Medicine. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast genome which exhibited a typical quadripartite structure, 156,679 bp in length with 37.7% overall GC content, including 131 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and one pseudogene. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that O. japonicus has a close relationship to Liriope spicata. |
