The complete chloroplast genomes of the evergreen tree species Cinnamomum camphora and Cinnamomum parthenoxylon (Laurales: Lauraceae)

摘要

Complete chloroplast genomes were characterized for two economically important tree species, Cinnamomum camphora and Cinnamomum parthenoxylon . The chloroplast genomes are 152,721?bp (C. camphora ) and 152,760?bp (C. parthenoxylon ) long, respectively, and both comprise a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions, separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region and a small single-copy (SSC) region. The same panel of 112 gene species were annotated for both species, including 78 protein-coding (PCG), 30 tRNA, and 4 rRNA gene species. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the species delimitation and interrelationship of C. camphora and C. parthenoxylon may need further investigation.
