Abstract:
Sycopsis sinensis is a species of the genus Sycopsis Oliv in the Hamamelidaceae, and it is a native broadleaved evergreen woody plant species in China. Here, we sequenced, assembled, and analyzed the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of S. sinensis. The chloroplast genome of S. sinensis was 159,093 bp with 38.02% GC content, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,841 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,792 bp and two equal length inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,230 bp. And, it contained 131 genes, including 37 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 86 mRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis strongly shows that S. sinensis has a close relationship with Distylium macrophyllum, whose posterior probability is 1.0.

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.
