Abstract:
Canarium album is one of the precious and characteristic fruit trees of China. In this study, we first presented the complete chloroplast genome of C. album by using BGISEQ-500 sequencing. Its complete chloroplast genome is 163,140 bp in size, containing a pair of inverted repeat regions of 30,729 bp, a large single copy region of 87,748 bp and a small single copy region of 13,934 bp. The chloroplast genome contains 117 unique genes, including 83 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on complete chloroplast genomes indicated that C. album was closest to Boswellia sacra.
