Abstract:
Castanea henryi(Skam)Rehd. et Wils is an important woody plant producing nuts in China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. henryi was reported by using the Illumina Hiseq 2500 platform. The complete chloroplast sequence is 160,807 bp, including large single-copy (LSC) region of 90,394 bp, small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,963 bp, and a pair of invert repeats (IR) regions of 25,725 bp. Plastid genome contains 112 genes, 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Based on 26 chloroplast genomes, phylogenetic analysis indicates that C. henryi is closely related to C. mollissima in Fagaceae.
