Abstract:
Acer negundo L. is popular as ornamental shade trees. In this study, we sequenced, assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of A. negundo. The genome sequence of A. negundo was 155,910 bp, consisting of a large single-copy region with 85,650 bp (LSC), a small single-copy region with 18,092 bp (SSC), and two inverted repeat regions with 26,084 and 26,090 bp (IRs). The GC content in the chloroplast genome of A. negundo was 37.9%. A total of 127 functional genes were predicted, including 83 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. As shown in the phylogenetic tree, A. negundo was clustered into a monophyletic cluster.
