Abstract

Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of Keteleeria evelyniana. The genome is 116,940 bp in size, which is comprised of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 74,075 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 40,425 bp, and two short inverted repeat (IR) regions of 1,220 bp. The overall GC content of the plastome was 38.5%. The new sequence comprised 103 unique genes, including 74 protein-coding genes, 4 rRNA genes, and 25 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that K.evelyniana was close to Keteleeria hainanensis and Keteleeria davidiana.

Keywords: Keteleeria evelyniana; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
