Abstract

Abstract: Altingia chinensis is an important native broad-leaved tree in southern China. Its wood can be used as an excellent edible fungus culture medium, in addition, aromatic oil can be extracted for medicine and spices. Its full-length chloroplast genome is 160, 410 bp, including a large single copy (LSC) region of 88, 936 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 18, 917 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26, 274 bp. Furthermore, we also found 132 genes, 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes in the chloroplast genome of Altingia chinensis . Phylogenetic analysis shows that Altingia chinensis is most closely related to Liquidambar formosana and Semiliquidambar cathayensis . This study can provide basic data for research on molecular-assisted breeding of Altingia chinensis, and phylogeny of Hamamelidaceae.
