Complete chloroplast genome sequence of , an important ornamental tree.

is a woody Acer plant with high ornamental value. In the present study, the chloroplast genome of was determined, annotated, and analyzed phylogenetically. The total chloroplast genome was 156,184 bp in length, consisting of a large single-copy region (86,525 bp), a small single-copy region (18,947 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (25,356 bp). The complete chloroplast genome contains 133 genes, including 90 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The phylogenetic analysis based on the sequences of 49 common proteins from 25 species demonstrated a close relationship between and three others Acer plants species including , and This study will help to understand the phylogenetic position of in genus Acer.
