The complete chloroplast genome of common camellia tree in Jeju island, Korea, Camellia japonica L. (Theaceae): intraspecies variations on common camellia chloroplast genomes

摘要

Camellia japonica L. usually blooms red flower in winter in Jeju island, Korea, considered a species which should not be planted in the garden. Here, we completed chloroplast genome of C. japonica isolated in Seogwang-ri, Jeju island for comparing that isolated in Wimi-ri, Jeju island. Its length is 156,971?bp long and has four subregions: 86,673?bp of large single copy (LSC) and 18,394?bp of small single copy (SSC) regions are separated by 25,952?bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions including 135 genes (91 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 36 tRNAs). Its overall GC content is 37.3% and those in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 35.3%, 30.5%, and 43.0%, respectively. One insertion and one deletion are identified between chloroplast genomes of Soyeonpyeong island and Seogwang-ri, even though both places are far enough (>450?km). Twenty-five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are identified within two Jeju island chloroplast genomes, presenting that C. japonica tree in Wimi-ri is genetically far from the two chloroplast genomes. Trees also show that genetic diversity of C. japonica is lower than that of C. sinensis .
