Abstract:
The chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Cerasus humilis has been characterized from Illumina pair-end sequencing. The complete cp genome was 158,082 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 86,273 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 19,039 bp, which were separated by a pair of 26,385 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). The genome contained 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content is 36.7%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.6, 29.5, and 42.6%, respectively. Phylogenetic reconstruction using 59 conserved coding-protein genes clustered C. humilis within Eurosids I.

Two models describe the mechanism of precursor recognition and entry across the outer membrane through the TOC complex. Model 1 suggests the newly synthesized precursor binds to the TOC receptor 159 and forms a complex.
