The complete chloroplast genome of Pseudotsuga sinensis, a China endemic species

Abstract

In this study, we collected plant material from Pseudotsuga sinensis in Guizhou, China, and sequenced it. The complete chloroplast genome consisted of 122,243 bp, including a large single-copy (LSC) region, a small single-copy (SSC) region, and two inverted repeat regions like those in P. sinensis var. wilsoniana. The GC content of P. sinensis and P. sinensis var. wilsoniana are 38.7% and 38.8%, respectively. The reconstructed phylogenetic tree reveals that P. sinensis was a sister species to P. sinensis var. wilsoniana. Hence, the availability of the chloroplast genome of P. sinensis will promote further phylogenetic studies of the family Pinaceae.
