Complete plastome sequence of (W.C. Cheng) Dandy (Magnoliaceae).

is an evergreen tree with 25 meters heights. It is distributed in tropical 1200-1300 m. Mount Emei. And it has been ranked as a CR (Critically Endangered) species in China. Here, we report and characterize the complete plastome of in an effort to provide genomic resources useful for promoting its systematics research. The plastome of s found to possess a total length 160,021 bp with the typical quadripartite structure of angiosperms, contains two Inverted Repeats (IRs) of 26,336 bp, a Large Single-Copy (LSC) region of 88,061 bp and a Small Single-Copy (SSC) region of 19,288 bp. The plastome contains 114 genes, consisting of 80 unique protein-coding genes, 30 unique tRNA genes and 4 unique rRNA genes. The overall A/T content in the plastome of is 60.70%. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that is close to within Magnoliaceae in this study. The complete plastome sequence of will provide a useful resource for the conservation genetics of this species as well as for the phylogenetic studies of Magnoliaceae.
