Abstract

Abstract: Phoebe zhennan S. Lee is the most important Phoebe plant, which is also a rare and extremely valuable wood in China. In this study, we obtained the complete chloroplast genome sequence of P. zhennan S. Lee using BGISEQ-500 sequencing. Its chloroplast genome size has 152, 212 bp length, containing a large single-copy region (93, 755 bp), a small single-copy region (18, 929 bp), and a pair of IR regions (19, 764 bp). The overall GC contents of the chloroplast genome were 39.9%. This circular genome contains 127 annotated genes, including 81 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. The phylogenetic analysis using maximum likelihood (ML) method showed that P. zhennan S. Lee has the closest relationship with P. nanmu. This complete chloroplast genomes can be subsequently used for the forestry development of this valuable species.
