Abstract:
Tulipa uniflora (L.) Besser ex Baker (1874) is distributed throughout China, Mongolia, and Russia (Siberia). This study reports the complete chloroplast genome sequence of T. uniflora based on high-throughput sequencing. The genome has a natural quadripartite structure and is 152,254 bp long with 36.5% GC content. It has 98 unique genes, including 4 rRNA genes, 29 tRNA genes, and 75 protein-coding genes. A total of 77 single-sequence repeats were identified, mostly in intergenic spacer regions. Anticodon recognition patterns revealed 19,717 codons in the protein-coding genes. Based on the whole chloroplast genome, T. uniflora was separated early from Tulipa species.

Protein Transport to the Outer Chloroplast Membrane
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.
