Chloroplast genome sequence of the hybrid variety ‘Silky White’, a white-flowered calla lily (<i>Zantedeschia aethiopica</i>)

It can be distinguished into two groups depending on the color of the flower. The chloroplast genome of the hybrid variety ‘Silky White’ (<i>Z. aethiopica</i> × <i>Z. aethiopica</i>), a white-flowered calla lily, was sequenced using Illumina sequencing technology.

The total length of the chloroplast genome was 168,880 bp with a GC content of 35.59%. It comprised a large single copy (LSC) region of 89,391 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 31,849 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 23,820 bp. Additionally, 161 functional genes were identified in the genome, including 105 protein-coding genes, 48 transfer RNA genes and 8 ribosomal RNA genes.
