Abstract:
The chloroplast genome of Juniperus chinensis L. was assembled and annotated in this research. The size of the chloroplast genome is 127,811 bp. It contains a 91,322 bp large single-copy region and a 35,960 bp small single-copy region; it does not contain inverted repeats. The genome encodes 82 protein-encoding genes, 33 tRNAs, and four rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis showed that J. chinensis was closer to congeneric species than those of Cupressaceae. These results provide a genomic basis for further evolutionary research on conifers.
