Abstract

In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of Fortunella crassifolia Swingle using the HiSeq-4000 sequencing. The chloroplast genome size is 160,229 bp, which consists of a large single-copy region (87,774 bp), a small single-copy region (18,721 bp), and a pair of IR regions (26,867 bp). The chloroplast genome contains 114 unique genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs. Phylogenetic maximum likelihood analysis showed that F. crassifolia was closest to Hongkong kumquat (F. hindsii). The complete chloroplast genome would be subsequently used for citrus species researches.
