The complete chloroplast genome of Camellia nitidissima (Theaceae)

Abstract

Camellia nitidissima is an endangered species. This species contains two varieties. Here, we report on the chloroplast genomes of C. nitidissima var. nitidissima from Fangcheng (GenBank accession MT157617) and Nanning (MT157618), as well as one sample of C. nitidissima var. microcarpa (MT157619) from Nanning. The total chloroplast genomes of C. nitidissima var. nitidissima Fangcheng and Nanning samples are 156,596 bp and 157,567 bp in length, respectively. C. nitidissima var. microcarpa (MT157619) genome is 157,407 bp in length. The three samples possess GC contents of 37.3%, 128 genes, comprising 86 protein-coding genes, 34 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes.
