The complete chloroplast genome of Salix lindleyana (salicaceae), a plateau plant species.

ABSTRACT: Salix lindleyana Wallich ex Andersson 1851 is a species of genus Salix which mainly grows on mountains above 3000 m at sea level in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (including the Himalayas and Hengduan Mountains). To determine its phylogenetic position within Salix, we reconstructed S. lindleyana complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence by de novo assembly using whole-genome sequencing data. The completed chloroplast genome was 155,304 bp, with a total GC content of 36.7%. It had a very typical tetrad structure, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,539 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 16,161 bp, and two inverted repeats (IR) regions of 27,302 bp. A total of 132 functional genes were distributed in the chloroplast genome, including 87 protein-coding g
