Abstract:
Quercus franchetii Skan, a crucial indicator plant of dry-hot valley with endemic to southwestern China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Q. franchetii was assembled and characterized. The circular genome was 160,785 bp in length, containing a large single copy (LSC) region of 90,169 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,828 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions of 25,894 bp. Total 131 genes were annotated, comprising 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that Q. franchetii was closely related to Q. glauca and Q. chungii.
