Abstract

Populus tomentosa narrow crown [P. tomentosa (NC)], natural distributes in northern China, is an economically important ecotype of P. tomentosa. In this study, we assembled its complete chloroplast (cp) genome. The total genome size of P. tomentosa (NC) is 156,368 bp in length, containing a large single copy region of 84,623 bp, a small single copy region of 16,533 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions of 27,606 bp. We annotated 130 genes in the genome, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes, 12 genes of which have 1 intron and 3 genes contain 2 introns. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 36.8%. Phylogenetic analysis using 24 complete cp genome of Salicaceae suggested that P. tomentosa (NC) is most closely related to P. alba. var. pyramidalis.
