Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Pinus yunnanensis var. pygmaea

Abstract

Pinus Yunnanensis var. pygmaea (Fam: pinaceae; Gen: Pinus), is a mutant of Pinus yunnanensis. Franch. To contribute to its conservation, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. yunnanensis var. Pygmaea was sequenced and assembled by high-throughput sequencing technology. The results show that P. yunnanensis var. pygmaea cp genome contained 101 genes, including 64 protein-coding genes, 33 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the cp genome is 38.50%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 16 cp genomes reveals that P. yunnanensis var. pygmaea is most related with Pinus taiwanensis.
