Abstract:
Sloanea hemsleyana is a potential commercial and oil tree species. This study is the first to report and analyze complete chloroplast genome sequences of S. hemsleyana as a genomic resource for conservation purposes. The chloroplast genome is 158,085 bp in length and consisted of a large single-copy (LSC) region (88,446 bp), and a small single-copy (SSC) region (17,659 bp), separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions (25,990 bp). It contains 108 genes, with 74 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that S. hemsleyana was most closely related to S. sinensis.
