Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Pistacia vera was mapped and determined based on Illumina sequencing data. The complete chloroplast genome is 160,654 bp and contains a pair of inverted repeat regions of 26,596 bp each, a large single-copy region of 88,376 bp, and a small single-copy region of 19,086 bp. It harbors 113 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes,4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genomes indicates that Pistacia vera is closely related to that of Pistacia weinmanniifolia.
