Abstract

Abstract: The object of this work was to measure the complete chloroplast genome of Styrax duclouxii Perkins for the sake of offering valuable genomic information to promote its conservation. The circular genome of S. duclouxii was measured as 157, 913 bp in size and contained two inverted repeat (IRa and IRb) regions of 26, 040 bp, which were separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87, 604 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 18, 229 bp. A total of 134 genes are encoded, including 89 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of Schizosaccharomyces japonicus genome is 36.97%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed using 36 chloroplast genomes reveals that S. duclouxii is most closely related with Styrax zhejiangensis and Styrax faberi.
