Abstract

Macadamia tetraphylla (Proteaceae) is one of the two macadamia plants that are edible and of cultivated value. Only two chloroplast genomes were reported in Proteaceae so far. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of M. tetraphylla, which is the third reported chloroplast genome in Proteaceae. The chloroplast genome is 159,195 bp long and includes 113 genes. Its LSC, SSC and IR regions are 87,951, 18,748 and 26,248 bp long, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that M. tetraphylla was clustered with other two species of Proteaceae, the M. integrifoia and M. ternifolia.

Keywords: Macadamia tetraphylla; chloroplast genome; proteaceae.
