Abstract

Abstract: Quercus sessilifolia Blume is one of the dominant tree species in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests. In this study, we assembled and characterized the plastome of Q. sessilifolia using Illumina paired-end data. The circular genome is 160, 813 bp in size, consisting of two copies of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25, 862 bp, one large single-copy (LSC) region of 90, 218 bp, and one small single-copy (SSC) region of 18, 871 bp. It encodes a total of 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on 28 chloroplast genome sequences indicated that Q. sessilifolia was most closely related to Q. myrsinifolia with 90% bootstrap support.
