Abstract

Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of Pittosporum brevicalyx. The genome is 153,388 bp in size, which is comprised of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,724 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,716 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 24,974 bp. The overall GC content of the plastome was 38.3%. The new sequence comprised 127 unique genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that P.brevicalyx was close to Pittosporum kerrii and Pittosporum eugenioides. These data may providing useful information for phyletic evolution of P.brevicalyx within the Pittosporaceae family.

Keywords: Pittosporum brevicalyx; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
