Abstract

Mangrove tree Avicenna marina has great ecological significance in maintaining coastal ecosystem, but its unique potential for gene functions and genetic diversity underlying ecological adaptation remains investigation. In this study, the chloroplast genome of A. marina was first characterized by sequencing chloroplast DNA with Illumina technology. The A. marina genome was 147,909 bp in size with a typical quadripartite structure, which was deposited in GenBank under the accession number MT108381.

Keywords: Avicennia marina; chloroplast genome; illumina sequencing; mangrove; phylogenetic analysis.
