The complete chloroplast genome of Phoebe zhennan

Abstract

Phoebe zhennan is a large tree with straight trunk and grey-brown or grey-yellowish villous as rare wood. In the study, the complete chloroplastid genome was assembled and annotated, its full length of 152,831 bp, include large single-copy (LSC) region of 93,753 bp, small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,928 bp, a pair of invert repeats (IR) regions of 20,075 bp. Plastid genome contains 127 genes, 81 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis suggested P. zhennan is sister to Phoebe sheareri and embed in Lauraceae.
