The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Magnolia maudiae

Abstract

The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Magnolia maudiae was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 160,205 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,249 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,806 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 26,575 bp. The genome contains 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. Further phylogenomic analysis showed that M. maudiae was close to Magnolia odora and Magnolia laevifolia in Magnolia genus.
