The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Ericales: Theaceae).

H.T. Chang, H.S. Wang & B.H. Chen 1983 is a native species in China, which has significant economic and breeding values. Here, we assembled and analyzed the complete chloroplast genome sequence of based on the whole genome sequencing data from Illumina NovaSeq6000 platform. Results show that the complete chloroplast genome of is 157,099 bp in length, and comprises a large single-copy (LSC, 86,643 bp) region, a small single-copy (SSC, 18,276 bp) region, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,090 bp) region. Annotation of the chloroplast genome predicts a total of 133 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content accounts for 37.30% of the genome, which is clearly consistent with that of other previously published species from section . Phylogenetic analyses of the whole chloroplast genome sequences of 14 species using as outgroup reveals that has a close relationship with .
