Abstract:
Magnolia baillonii is an important tropical and sub-tropical precious wood tree species in China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of M. baillonii was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data. The cpDNA is 160,107 bp in length, contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 88,141 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,905 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,574 bp. The genome contains 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 39.3%. Further phylogenomic analysis showed that M. baillonii clustered together with Magnolia insignis.

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.
