Abstract

In the present study, we announce the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of Artocarpus tonkinensis, a tree native to China with diverse beneficial uses. This complete chloroplast genome is 160,987 bp in length. In total, 130 genes were identified, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The findings of phylogenetic analysis supported that Artocarpus belongs to the Moraceae family and proposed a sister relationship between Artocarpus and Morus.

Keywords: Artocarpus tonkinensis; Chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
