Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of Elaeocarpus japonicus Sieb. et Zucc. was reported in this study. The cp genome was 157,639 bp in length including two inverted repeats (IRs) of 27,437 bp, which were separated by large single copy (LSC) and small single copy (SSC) of 85,784 bp and 16,981 bp, respectively. The GC content was 37.2%. The genome encoded 111 functional genes, including 77 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree showed that E. japonicus representing Elaeocarpaceae is sister to Averrhoa carambola representing Oxalidaceae with strong support.

Keywords: Elaeocarpus japonicus; chloroplast genome; illumina sequencing; phylogenetic analysis.
