The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Michelia compressa. Issue 3 (2nd July 2020) - Zhou, Dongqin
Abstract: Michelia compressa is an evergreen ornamental tree species. The high-throughput sequencing technology was used to sequence and assemble the chloroplast genome of Michelia compressa . Results showed that the chloroplast genome is 160, 061 bp in length, of which the inverted repeats sequence (IRs) is 26, 581 bp, the large single-copy region (LSC) and the small single copy region (SSC) are 88, 097 bp and 18, 802 bp, respectively. The GC content of the plastome was 39.2%, with 43.2%, 37.9% and 34.2% in IRs, LSC and SSC, respectively. A total of 132 genes are annotated, 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. This study enriched the Michelia compressa genomic information which provides the basis for rational exploitation and utilization of germplasm resources.
