Abstract:
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Podocarpus macrophyllus was determined in this study. According to the results, the genome is 134,239 bp in length. The GC content of the whole chloroplast genome is 37.0%. The complete chloroplast genome of P. macrophyllus encodes a total of 120 genes, including 34 tRNA genes, 4 rRNA genes and 82 protein-coding genes. Like other conifers chloroplast genomes, P. macrophyllus has no inverted repeat sequences. To reveal the phylogenetic relationship of P. macrophyllus, we constructed phylogenetic trees using other species of Podocarpaceae, and the phylogenetic analysis showed that P. macrophyllus is evolutionarily closest to Podocarpus longifoliolatus.
