Abstract:
Elaeocarpus decipiens F. B. Forbes and Hemsl is an evergreen tree native to East Asia. Here, we sequenced and reported the complete chloroplast genome of E. decipiens for the first time. In the present work, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of E. decipiens was characterized by Illumina pair-end sequencing. The genome was 158,148 bp in total length, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,702 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,672 bp, and a pair of invert repeats (IR) regions of 27,387 bp. The plastid genome contained 142 genes including 97 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 chloroplast genomes indicates that E. decipiens is closely related to Elaeocarpus bracean in Elaeocarpacea.
