Abstract:
Quercus baronii is an endemic species to China. The total length of the Q. baronii chloroplast genome is 161 072 bp. It exhibits typical quadripartite structure, composed of two copies of inverted repeat (IR) regions (25 843 bp), large single copy (LSC) region (90 341 bp), and small single copy (SSC) region (19 045 bp). The genome contains 134 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed its relationship with reported Quercus L. species.

Protein Transport to the Outer Chloroplast Membrane
Two models describe the mechanism of precursor recognition and entry across the outer membrane through the TOC complex. Model 1 suggests the newly synthesized precursor binds to the TOC receptor 159 and forms a complex.
