Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Camellia granthamiana (Theaceae), a Vulnerable species endemic to China.

ABSTRACT: Camellia granthamiana is a wild camellia resource endemic to China and is listed as a Vulnerable species globally. Here, we reported and characterized its complete chloroplast (cp) genome by using Illumina pair-end sequencing data. The total chloroplast genome size was 157,001 bp, including inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,042 bp, separated by a large single copy (LSC) and a small single copy (SSC) of 86,622 and 18,295 bp, respectively. A total of 131 genes, including 36 tRNA, 8 Rrna, and 87 protein-coding genes were identified. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. granthamiana is sister to C. sinensis with 100% value support.
