The plastid genome of a tropical tree Endiandra hainanensis (Lauraceae)

Abstract

Endiandra hainanensis Merr. et Metc. ex Allen is a woody plant belonging to the genus Endiandra R. Brown Prodr, in the family Lauraceae. To better determine its phylogenetic location with respect to the other Endiandra species, the complete plastid genome of E. hainanensis was sequenced. The whole plastome size is 158,558 bp that includes a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,513 bp, one large single-copy (LSC) region of 89,285 bp, and one small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,247 bp. The overall GC content of the whole plastome is 39.04%. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis with TVM + F + R2 model was conducted using 20 complete plastomes of the Lauraceae, which supports the close relationship between E. hainanensis and E. dolichocarpa.
