Abstract

Abstract: Quercus acrodonta Seemen is an East Asian evergreen oak tree species belonging to the Quercus section Ilex . Here, we assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of the species. The circular genome is 161, 105 bp in size, presenting a typical quadripartite structure including two copies of inverted repeat (IR) regions (25, 864 bp), one large single-copy (LSC) region (90, 357 bp), and one small single-copy (SSC) region (19, 020 bp). A total of 131 genes are encoded, including 85 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 38 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis based on cp genome sequences of 18 Quercus species indicated that Q . acrodonta was more closely related to Q . phillyraeoides .
