Abstract:
The complete chloroplast genome of the evergreen plant Dendropanax dentiger (Araliaceae) has been reconstructed from the whole-genome Illumina sequencing data. The circular genome is 156,687 bp in size, and comprises a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,880 bp each, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,680 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,247 bp. The chloroplast genome contains 134 genes, including 89 protein-coding genes (81 PCG species), eight ribosomal RNA genes (four rRNA species), and 37 transfer RNA genes (30 tRNA species). Out of these genes, 16 harbor a single intron, and two contain a couple of introns. The overall A + T content of the whole genome is 62.0%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 63.8%, 68.0% and 56.9%, respectively.
