Abstract:
Huodendron tibeticum (J.Anthony) Rehder, which plays an important role in ecology and economy, is a deciduous species of Styracaceae. The authors sequenced, assembled, and annotated the chloroplast (cp) genome of Huodendron tibeticum using the sequencing data from Illumina Novaseq platform in this study. The complete cp genome of H. tibeticum is 159,320 bp in length, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,795 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,989 bp. It contains 130 genes, including 37 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 85 protein-coding genes. The overall GC content of H. tibeticum chloroplast genome is 36.66%. The phylogenetic analysis suggests that H. tibeticum is a sister species to H. biaristatum in Styracaceae.
