Abstract:
The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Cinnamomum kotoense was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 154,010 bp in length, contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 93,676 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,830 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 20,752 bp. The genome contains 127 genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 36 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 39.2%, and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 37.9%, 33.9%, and 44.3%, respectively. Further phylogenomic analysis showed that C. kotoense and Cinnamomum bodinieri clustered in a clade in Cinnamomum genus.
