Abstract

Abstract: The entire chloroplast genome of Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Gilg was identified as a circular molecule of 174, 885 bp length with a typical tetrad structure, including a pair of inverted repeats (42, 103 bp each), a large single copy (87, 331 bp) and a small single copy (3, 348 bp) regions. The A . sinensis cp genome encoded 8 rRNAs, 39 tRNAs, and 90 proteins. A phylogenetic tree was reconstructed using the 43 protein-coding genes of eight Thymelaeaceae. Two other Malvales, Abelmoschus esculentus and Durio zibethinus, were selected as the outgroup. Our phylogenetic analysis suggests that the five examined species of Aquilaria appeared a monophyletic group with robust support.
