Complete chloroplast genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis of Populus deltoides Caihong.

ABSTRACT: Colored-leaf plants are increasingly popular, which has higher ecological, economic and social benefits. Caihong poplar, one of colored-leaf plants from Populus deltoides, has been widely used in courtyard embellishment, road greening, garden set King and so on. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Caihong poplar was evaluated, and the total chloroplast genome size of which is 156,957 bp in length with 36.69% GC content, including large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,096 bp, a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 27,649 bp each, and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 16,563 bp. There were 22 tRNA genes, 83 protein-coding genes, and four rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis with 22 species indicated that Caihong poplar was closely clustered with Po
