The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Carrierea calycina (Salicaceae)

Abstract

The chloroplast genome sequences of Carrierea calycina, endemic in China, is been presented in this article. The species was introduced into the west in the 19th century as a rare ornamental plant. The complete chloroplast genome was 158,327 bp in length with 36.8% of GC content, containing a large single copy region (LSC) of 84,943 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 17,570 bp, which were separated by a pair of 27,907 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). The sequence contained 111 unique genes, including 30 tRNA, 4 rRNA, and 77 protein-coding genes. The phylogenetic position of genus Carrierea has been clarified through Bayesian inference tree based on the chloroplast genome of 14 species.
