Abstract:
Styrax hemsleyanus is valued for its beauty and fragrance. Here, we characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of S. hemsleyanus using next generation sequencing. The circular complete cp genome of S. hemsleyanus is 158,027 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,641 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,290 bp. It comprises 133 genes, including 8 rRNA genes, 37 tRNAs genes, and 88 protein-coding genes. The GC content of S. hemsleyanus cp genome is 36.95%. The phylogenetic analysis suggests that S. hemsleyanus is a sister species to Styrax odoratissimus in Styracaceae.
