Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of rare and endangered Camellia pubipetala Y. Wan & S. Z. Huang (Theaceae) was mentioned in this research. By studying comparatively, we found that the C. pubipetala Y. Wan & S. Z. Huang chloroplast genome was 156,993 bp in length and composed of 86,590 bp LSC, 18,211 bp SSC, and two reverse repeating regions with 26,090 bp. The whole GC content was 37.33%. The genome encoded 116 functional genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 32 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. In order to find the phylogenetic relationship of C. pubipetala Y. Wan & S. Z. Huang within Camellia genus, we reconstructed phylogenetic tree. The results indicate that C. pubipetala Y. Wan & S. Z. Huang was closely related to Camellia huana voucher and Camellia ptilosperma.

Keywords: Camellia pubipetala Y.Wan & S.Z.Huang (Theaceae); complete chloroplast genome; phylogeny tree.
