The complete chloroplast genome of Cathay Poplar:Poplus cathayanaRehder

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of Populus cathayana was determined in this study. The total length of the chloroplast genome size is 155 449 bp, with 36.95% GC content. A pair of inverted repeats of 27 525 bp are separated by a large single-copy region (LSC, 83 911 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 16 488 bp). About 104 unique genes were annotated, including 76 protein coding genes, 24 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes.

The First Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Boswellia sacra, a Resin-Producing Plant in Oman

“…Recent studies, using advanced genome sequencing techniques, have improved the prospects for resolving phylogenetic homogeneity at taxonomic levels and have enhanced the current understanding of the structural and functional evolution of economically important plants and their traits [12–15]. In the last decade, numerous studies have reported the results of chloroplast genome sequencing for economically and ecologically important tree species, such as Eucommia ulmoides [16], Poplus cathayana [17], Quercus spinosa [18], Acacia ligulata [19], Pinus armandii [20], Cocos nucifera [21], Citrus aurantiifolia [22], Musa acuminata [23], Norway spruce [24], etc. The elucidation of the chloroplast genomes of important tree species has facilitated to understand the evaluation of gene structure and has targeted conservation and propagation strategies [12–13].…”
