Abstract

Abstract: Hopea reticulata Tardieu is a critically endangered tree species distributed in limited regions in Thailand, Vietnam and Hainan Island of China. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of H . reticulata assembled from pair-end reads generated by Illumina sequencing. The circular chloroplast genome is 151, 407 bp in length and comprises a large single copy region of 84, 352 bp, a small single copy region of 19, 733 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats of 23, 661 bp each. The complete genome encodes 129 functional genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome was 37.4%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that H . reticulata is sister to H . hainanensis with strong bootstrap support.
