The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Chinese tallow Triadica sebifera (Linnaeus) Small (Euphorbiaceae)

Abstract

Triadica sebifera, commonly known as Chinese tallow, is an important medicinal and biofuel plant native to eastern Asia. In the study, we assembled the complete chloroplast genome of T. sebifera based on Illumina pair-end sequencing data. The complete genome sequence length is 159,342 bp. Finally, 122 genes were identified, including 82 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 36 tRNA genes. Further phylogenomic analysis showed that T. sebifera is clustered with Euphorbia esula.
