Abstract:
Styrax calvescens Perk., is a nice tree, valued for its beauty and fragrance. Here, we characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of S. calvescens using next-generation sequencing. The circular complete cp genome of S. calvescens is 157,951 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,566 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,289 bp. It comprises of 133 genes, including 8 rRNA genes, 37 tRNAs genes, and 88 protein-coding genes. The GC content of S. calvescens cp genome is 36.95%. The phylogenetic analysis suggests that S. calvescens is a sister species to Styrax grandiflorus Griffith in Styracaceae.
