Abstract

Allium mongolicum is a kind of wild vegetable with high nutritional value and even a traditional Chinese medicine. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Allium mongolicum. The size of the chloroplast genome is 153,376 bp in length, including a large single copy region (LSC) of 82,912 bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,054 bp, and a pair of inverted repeated regions of 26,205 bp. The Allium mongolicum chloroplast genome encodes 115 genes, including 69 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic tree showed that Allium mongolicum is closely related to Allium przewalskianum.

Keywords: Allium mongolicum; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic tree.
