Abstract:
The complete chloroplast genome of Chloranthus henryi, an important traditional Chinese herbal medicine, was sequenced and characterized in this study. The genome size is 157,990 bp in length with 37.3% GC content. Two inverted repeats of 26,151 bp are separated by a large single-copy region (87,148 bp), and a small single-copy region (18,569 bp). A total of 131 genes were identified, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. Eight plastome accessions from Chloranthales, Austrobaileyales, Nymphaeales, and Amborellales were selected to assess the phylogenetic placement of genus.

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.
