The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Podocarpus neriifolius (Podocarpaceae)

Abstract

The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Podocarpus neriifolius D. Don was determined by BGISEQ-500 platform sequencing in this study. The entire cp genome was determined to be 133,878 bp in length. The genome contains a total of 119 encoding genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, four rRNA genes, and 33 tRNA genes. The overall GC content of P. neriifolius genome is 37.1%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by other 18 conifer species illustrated that P. neriifolius was the nearest relative to P. totara, P. latifolius, and P. lambertii.
