Abstract

Lindera praecox is a signature composition in the broadleaved deciduous forest of East China and Japan. Presently, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of this species was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. It is 152,818 bp in length and encodes 85 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated intraspecific varieties within L. praecox species collected in China and Japan. This chloroplast genome sequencing offers genetic background for resources conservation and phylogenetic studies.

Keywords: Lindera; complete chloroplast genome Lauraceae phylogeny.
