The complete chloroplast genome of an economic plant, Camellia sinensis cultivar Anhua, China
Abstract
In order to supply genetic information of Camellia sinensis cultivar Anhua, characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence was reported based on high-throughput sequencing data. The complete cp genome of C. sinensis cultivar Anhua is shorter than other C. sinensis cultivars with 157,025 bp in length, comprising a large single copy (LSC) region of 86,585 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,276 bp, separated by two inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26,082 bp. The overall G + C content is 37.30%. The genome contained total of 135 genes, including 90 protein coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed all the cultivars were clustered into a group except C. sinensis var. pubilimba.
