The complete chloroplast genome of Camellia grijsii ‘zhenzhucha’, a variant cultivar with floral aroma

摘要

Camellia grijsii ‘zhenzhucha’ is a variant cultivar from Camellia grijsii , which is also called Camellia grijsii ‘juhuacha’.C. grijsii ‘zhenzhucha’ is an ornamental shrub with a floral aroma, and is oftenused in landscape. To provide genetic information for genetic research, we have sequenced and assembled the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of C. grijsii ‘zhenzhucha’ based on the Illumina Hiseq platform. The assembled complete cp genome of C. grijsii ‘zhenzhucha’ was 161,478?bp in length with 37.24% GC, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 59,942?bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,294?bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 20,293?bp. The cp genome was annotated with 130 functional genes, consisting of 81 protein-coding genes, 45 transporter RNAs, and 4 ribosomal RNAs. To obtain the phylogeny relationship, the cp genome of C. grijsii 'zhenzhucha'has been compared with other Camellia species, and the results indicate that C. grijsii 'zhenzhucha' is closely related to C. grijsii . This study provides fundamental information of C. grijsii 'zhenzhucha' cp genome, and has an important reference value for the evolutionary analysis.
