The first complete chloroplast genome of Tetradium daniellii (Benn.) T. G. Hartley

Abstract

Tetradium daniellii (Benn.) T. G. Hartley is an important medicinal, ornamental, and timber tree species and belongs to genus Tetradium in family of Rutaceae. It is widely distributed in warm temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest areas in northern China, Korean Peninsula and Japan. In this study, we sequenced its sample and determined complete chloroplast genome. The CP genome of T. daniellii has a circle structure with the length 158,446 bp, includes a small single copy region (17, 972 bp), a large single copy (86, 478 bp) and two inverted repeats (26,998 bp). There were 131 genes, which included 86 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA and 37 tRNA, and overall GC content covered by 38.3%. The gene trnK-UUU, rps16, trnG-UCC, atpF, rpoC1, trnL-UAA, trnV-UAC, petB, petD, rpl16, rpl2, ndhB, trnI-GAU, trnA-UGC and ndhA contained an intron; gene clpP, ycf3 contained 2 introns. The phylogenetic result showed that T. daniellii had the closest relationship with Tetradium ruticarpum (NC_052830).
