Abstract:
The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Michelia wilsonii was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 160,100 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,162 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,786 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 26,576 bp. The genome contains 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. Further phylogenomic analysis showed that M. wilsonii closed to Michelia odora and Michelia yunnanensis in Michelieae tribe of the Magnoliaceae family.
