The complete chloroplast genome sequence of <i>Lycium barbarum</i> var. <i>implicatum</i> (Solanaceae), a new species of wolfberry from the Yellow River Basin in Ningxia, China

<i>Lycium barbarum</i> var. <i>implicatum</i> (2010), is a new variety of <i>L. barbarum</i> in Solanaceae. Here, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of <i>L. barbarum</i> var. <i>implicatum</i>. Results showed that the complete cp genome of <i>L. barbarum</i> var. <i>implicatum</i> was 154,888 bp in length, containing a large single copy (LSC) region of 85,894 bp, a pair of inverted repeats (IR) region of 25,393 bp, and a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,208 bp. Maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree elucidated that <i>L. barbarum</i> var. <i>implicatum</i> was sister to <i>L. ruthenicum.</i> Our results provide useful information for future phylogenetic studies in the family of Solanaceae.
