Abstract

Abstract: The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Camellia sinensis var. sinensis cultivar 'FuDingDaBaiCha' (FD), one of the key contributors to the history of tea breeding in China, was determined in this study. The cp genome of FD is 157, 025 bp in length, including a large single-copy (LSC, 86, 586 bp), a small single-copy (SSC, 18, 277 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb, 26, 081 bp). The overall GC content is 37.3%. A total of 137 genes were predicted, including 92 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that FD was closely related to C. sinensis cv. 'AnHua', C. sinensis cv. 'QianCha 1', and C. sinensis cv. 'BanTianYao'. The determination of the complete cp genome sequence of FD provides a way for the subsequent study of the genetic background and phylogenetic relationships of different tea plant cultivars.
