The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Litsea coreana var. lanuginosa (Lauraceae): genome structure and phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: Litsea coreana var. lanuginose is a perennial, indeciduous, and broad-leaved tree used as an essential medicinal and edible plant. In addition, this species is well-known for its leaves are rich in aromatic oil. In this study, we firstly assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of L. coreana var. lanuginose using Illumina pair-end sequencing and performed a phylogenetic analysis with other 13 species in Lauraceae. The results revealed that its chloroplast genome was 152,859 bp in total length with 39% of GC content, containing a pair of inverted repeats of 20,084 bp (IRA and IRB), separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region of 93,795 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,896 bp.
