Next-generation sequencing yields the complete chloroplast genome of Abies kawakamii.

ABSTRACT: Abies kawakamii is endemic to the island of Taiwan and has been listed as a threatened species in the Red List. In present study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of A. kawakamii. The chloroplast genome is 121,290 bp in size. It was composed of 114 genes and they were 68 peptide-encoding genes, 35 tRNA genes, four rRNA genes, six open reading frames and one pseudogene. Loss of ndh genes was identified in the genome of A. kawakamii. Inverted repeat sequences include trnS-psaM-ycf12-trnG and trnG-ycf12-psaM-trnS were recognized in 52-kb inversion points. The phylogenetic analysis confirms that the Abies species are strongly supported as monophyletic. The complete plastome of A. kawakamii will provide potential genetic resources for
