Abstract:
Corylopsis sinensis Hemsl. is a deciduous shrub endemic to China, which is a valuable medicinal and ornamental species. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. sinensis, providing a genomic basis for future research. The chloroplast genome is 159,419 base pairs (bp) in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,152 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of of 18,701 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,283 bp. The overall GC content is 38.0% and the chloroplast genome encodes 113 unique genes including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic results show that C. sinensis is sister to C. spicata. These results of C. sinensis will improve our understanding of the evolution of Corylopsis and Hamamelidaceae.

Two models describe the mechanism of precursor recognition and entry across the outer membrane through the TOC complex. Model 1 suggests the newly synthesized precursor binds to the TOC receptor 159 and forms a complex.
