Abstract:
The chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Azara serrata has been characterized from Illumina pair-end sequencing. The complete cp genome was 158,306 bp in length, containing a large single copy region (LSC) of 85,059 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 17,889 bp, which were separated by a pair of 27,679 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). The genome contained 129 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content is 36.5%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.3, 30.0, and 42.0%, respectively. Further, phylogenetic analysis suggested that the A. serrata is a sister of Flacourtia indica and is an outgroup to the remaining genera of Saliaceae.

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.
