'Siyang-2' is an improved variety of forest trees that have been identified recently. It shows superior growth performance compared to other local cultivars in the region of Yangtze-Huaihe in China. In this study, the whole chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of 'Siyang-2' was assembled and characterized by high-throughput sequencing data. The complete cp genome was 156,957 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,096 bp, and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 16,563 bp, which were separated by a pair of 27,649 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). The cp genome contained 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. Most of the gene species occur as a single copy, while 20 gene species occur in double copies. The overall GC content of 'Siyang-2' cp genome is 34.6%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.5%, 30.6%, 41.9%, respectively. The complete cp genome provides valuable phylogenetic and cp genetic engineering studies of this important improved poplar species 'Siyang-2'.
“泗杨2号”是最近鉴定出的一个林木改良品种。在中国江淮地区,它与其他当地品种相比具有优异的生长性能。在本研究中,通过高通量测序数据组装并表征了“泗杨2号”的完整叶绿体(cp)基因组序列。完整的cp基因组长度为156,957 bp,包含一个85,096 bp的大单拷贝区域(LSC)和一个16,563 bp的小单拷贝区域(SSC),它们被一对27,649 bp的反向重复区域(IRs)隔开。cp基因组包含131个基因,包括86个蛋白质编码基因、37个tRNA基因和8个核糖体RNA基因。大多数基因种类以单拷贝形式存在,而20个基因种类以双拷贝形式存在。“泗杨2号”cp基因组的总体GC含量为34.6%,而LSC、SSC和IR区域的相应值分别为34.5%、30.6%、41.9%。完整的cp基因组为这种重要的改良杨树品种“泗杨2号”的系统发育和cp基因工程研究提供了有价值的信息。
