The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Camellia sinensis var. sinensis cultivar Tieguanyin (Theaceae).

ABSTRACT: Camellia sinensis var. sinensis cultivar Tieguanyin (TGY) is an important Oolong tea variety in China. In this study, we reported a complete chloroplast (cp) genome based on the Illumina sequencing technology and combined de novo and reference-guided assembly strategies. The complete cp genome of 'TGY' displayed the regular quadripartite structure: a total of 157,126 bp in length, comprising a large single-copy (LSC, 86,904 bp) region, a small single-copy (SSC, 18,532 bp) region, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,095 bp) regions. A lot of 132 predicted genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC content is 37.3%. Maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree involving 18 cp genomes of the Camellia genus revealed a rel
