Abstract:
The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Caryodaphnopsis tonkinensis was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 149,016 bp in length, contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 91,915 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 17,703 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 19,699 bp. The genome contains 126 genes, including 81 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 36 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 39.0%, and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 37.7%, 34.4%, and 44.4%, respectively. Further phylogenomic analysis showed that C. tonkinensis clustered in a clade in Lauraceae family.
