The complete chloroplast genome of Ophiopogon bodinieri Levl. and its phylogenetic position.

Ophiopogon bodinieri Levl. is an important turfgrass and ornamental cover plants which is widely used in urban garden construction in southern China. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of O.bodinieri on the Illumina HiSeq Platform. The chloroplast genome is 157,078 bp in length, with a typical quadripartite structure and consisting of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (26,477 bp) separated by a large single copy (LSC) region (85,374 bp) and a small single copy (SSC) region (18,750 bp). It was predicted to contain a total of 132 genes, with an overall GC content of 38.63%. Phylogenetic analysis suggested O.bodinieri is closely relatedto Goodyera velutina, Anoectochilus emeiensis and Ludisia discolor.
