Abstract:
In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of Quercus schottkyana. The circular genome is 160,746 bp in size, featuring a typical quadripartite structure comprising one large single-copy region (LSC, 90,136 bp), one small single-copy region (SSC, 18,942 bp), and two copies of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 25,834 bp). The genome contains 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. The overall GC content is 36.90%. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree reconstructed using IQ-TREE indicated that Q. schottkyana has a closer relationship with Quercus sichourensis and Quercus acuta.
