The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Garcinia pedunculata was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 157,688 bp in length, contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 85,994 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 17,656 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 27,017 bp. The genome contains 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 36.2%, and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 33.6%, 30.2%, and 42.2%, respectively. Further phylogenomic analysis showed that G. pedunculata and Garcinia mangostana clustered in a clade in order Malpighiales.

The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Casimiroa edulis was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 160,176 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 87,536 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,576 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 27,032 bp. The genome contains 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 38.2%, and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 36.5, 33.0, and 42.9%, respectively. Further, phylogenomic analysis showed that C. edulis, Phellodendron amurense, and Zanthoxylum bungeanum clustered in a clade in family Rutaceae. ARTICLE HISTORY

The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Santalum album was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 144,101 bp in length, contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 83,796 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 11,277 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 24,514 bp. The genome contains 123 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 35 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 38.0%, and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 35.9%, 31.4%, and 43.1%, respectively. Further phylogenomic analysis showed that S. album and Osyris alba clustered in a clade in Santalales order.

The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Altingia yunnanensis was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 160,860 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 89,162 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,008 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,325 bp each. The genome contains 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. Further, the phylogenomic analysis showed that A. yunnanensis and Altingia excelsa clustered in a clade in Saxifragales order.

The first complete chloroplast genome sequences of Streblus indicus were reported in this study. The cpDNA of S. indicus is 159,853 bp in length, contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 88,950 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 19,313 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,795 bp. The genome contains 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 36.1%. Phylogenetic analysis of 14 chloroplast genomes within the family Moraceae shows that S. indicus clustered in a unique clade.
