Abstract

Here, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Pinus densata. The complete chloroplast genome is 119,617 bp in length. There were 112 genes in the genome, including 73 protein-coding genes, 35 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The overall GC was 38.5%, and the base of A, C, G, and T were 30.6, 19.3, 19.2, and 30.9%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that P. densata was relatively closely related to Pinus tabuliformis. These data may providing useful information for the phyletic evolution of P. densata within the Pinaceae family.

Keywords: Pinus densata; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
