The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Aglaia odorata

The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Aglaia odorata was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 160,978 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,146 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,646 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 27,089 bp. The genome contains 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 37.5%%, and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 35.5%, 31.8%, and 42.7%, respectively. Further phylogenomic analysis showed that A. odorata, Cipadessa cinerascens and Aphanamixis polystachya clustered in a clade in family Meliaceae.
