Abstract
Solanum hougasii is a wild tuber-bearing species belonging to the family Solanaceae. The complete chloroplast genome of S. hougasii was constituted by de novo assembly, using a small amount of whole genome sequencing data. The chloroplast genome of S. hougasii was a circular DNA molecule with a length of 155,549 bp and consisted of 85,990 bp of large single copy, 18,373 bp of small single copy, and 25,593 bp of a pair of inverted repeat regions. A total of 158 genes were annotated, including 105 protein-coding genes, 45 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis with 25 Solanaceae species revealed that S. hougasii is most closely grouped with S. tuberosum.
