Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of 'Quanhong poplar' (Populus deltoides W. Bartram ex Humphry Marshall, 2011).

ABSTRACT: The color of the leaves is one of the most important factors for horticultural crops that are considered by breeders, and is also attracting more and more attention from economists and academics. 'Quanhong poplar' (QHP), a rare, bright reddish-purple color-leaf cultivar that has been widely cultivated in China as a landscape tree, is a very precious color-leaf cultivar. In the present study, a reference-based assembly was performed using whole-genome sequencing data to characterize the chloroplast genome of 'QHP'. The total chloroplast genome size of 'QHP' is 156,950 bp, which is divided into two inverted repeat structures of 27,649 bp each, a small single-copy region of 16,563 bp, and a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,089 bp. From the chloroplast genome, 130 genes have been predicted
