The complete chloroplast genome of Fagus crenata (subgenus Fagus) and comparison with F. engleriana (subgenus Engleriana).

ABSTRACT: This study reports the whole chloroplast genome of Fagus crenata (subgenus Fagus), a foundation tree species of Japanese temperate forests. The genome has a total of 158,227 bp containing 111 genes, including 76 protein-coding genes, 31 tRNA genes and 4 ribosomal RNA genes. Comparison with the only other published Fagus chloroplast genome, F. engeleriana (subgenus Engleriana) shows that the genomes are relatively conserved with no inversions or rearrangements observed while the proportion of nucleotide sites differing between the two species was equal to 0.0018. The six most variable regions were, in increasing order of variability, psbK-psbI, trnG-psbfM, rpl32, trnV, ndhI-ndh and ndhD-psa<
