Next-generation sequencing yields the complete chloroplast genome of Abies fanjingshanensis, an Endangered species from South China

摘要

Abies fansipanensis is an Endangered species in South China with less than 2500 mature trees. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of A. fansipanensis . The complete chloroplast genome is 120,057?bp in length, comprising a large single copy (LSC) region of 65,355?bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 54,174?bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 264?bp each. The genome contains 114 genes and there were 68 peptide-encoding genes, 35 tRNA genes, four rRNA genes, 6 open reading frames, and 1 pseudogene. Loss of ndh genes and inverted repeat sequences were identified in this genome. The phylogenetic analysis confirms that the Abies species are supported as monophyletic, with high bootstrap values.
