The complete chloroplast genome of Styrax confusus Hemsl. (Styracaceae).

ABSTRACT: Styrax confusus Hemsl. is valued for its beauty and fragrance. Here, we characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of S. confusus using next-generation sequencing. The circular complete cp genome of S. confusus was 157,981 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,571 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,316 bp. It comprises 133 genes, including eight rRNA genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 88 protein-coding genes. The GC content of S. confusus cp genome is 36.95%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 30 chloroplast genomes reveals that S. confusus is mostly related to Styrax calvescens Perk.
