Description
Summary:Castanopsis sclerophylla (Lindl.) Schott is one of the National Class II protected plants, and an important species in subtropical evergreen forests in China. The object of this work was to thoroughly explore the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of C. sclerophylla using next-generation sequencing. The circular complete cp genome of C. sclerophylla is 160,519 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 90,243 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,976 bp. It comprises 131 genes, including 8 rRNA genes, 37 tRNAs genes, and 85 protein-coding genes. The GC content of C. sclerophylla cp genome is 36.81%. The phylogenetic analysis suggests that C. sclerophylla is a sister species to C. fargesii in Fagaceae.
