Abstract

Camellia anlungensis is a rare and ornamental plant. To contribute to its conservation, the complete chloroplast (cp.) genome of C. anlungensis was sequenced and assembled by high-throughput sequencing technology, and its characteristics were analyzed and clustering relationship was studied in the present study. The complete cp. genome of C. anlungensis is 156,587 bp in length, containing a LSC region of 86,262 bp, a SSC region of 18,339 bp and two IR regions of 25,993 bp. The overall A + T content of C. anlungensiscp genome is 62.7%. The annotated complete cp. genome contains 114 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that C. anlungensisis grouped with C. leptophylla, C. ptilophylla, C. pubicosta, C. grandibracteata and C. sinensis.

Keywords: Camellia anlungensis; chloroplast genome; high-throughput sequencing.
