Abstract

Herein, we report the complete chloroplast genome of Tilia mongolica Maxim. from Tiliaceae. The chloroplast genome of T. mongolica is 162,804 bp, with a large single copy region of 91,255 bp, small single copy region of 20,355 bp, and two inverted-repeat regions of 25,597 bp. The chloroplast genome contains 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding, 8 rRNA, and 37 tRNA. The total GC content is 36.46%. The phylogenetic analysis of T. mongolica showed a relatively close relationship with Tilia taishanensis.

Keywords: Tilia mongolica; Tiliaceae; chloroplast genome; systematic evolution.
