The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Ulmus lanceifolia Roxburgh ex Wallich (Ulmaceae).

ABSTRACT: Ulmus lanceifolia, which plays an important role in ecology and economy, is one of the main evergreen broad leaved arbor species in southern China. In this study, we assembled its complete chloroplast genome. The total genome size of U. lanceifolia was 158,652bp, containing a large single-copy region of 87,119bp, a small single-copy region of 18,697bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions of 26,418bp. The overall GC content of U. lanceifolia chloroplast genome is 35.63%. We obtained the 132 genes chloroplast genome, including 86 proteincoding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis suggests that U. lanceifolia is a monophyletic taxa and a transitional species between the 2 groups which were combined by Ulmus americana, U. elongate and Zelkova serrate, Z. schneideriana respectively in Ulmaceae.
