| Summary: | The complete chloroplast genome of Olmediella betschleriana was reconstructed by reference-based assembly using Illumina paired-end data. The assembled plastome is 158,171 base pairs (bp) in length, including a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 27,900 bp each, a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,783 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 16,588 bp. A total of 119 genes were predicted from the chloroplast genome, including 83 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of O. betschleriana chloroplast genome was 36.71%. The phylogenetic analysis with 15 other species showed that O. betschleriana was closely clustered with Idesia polycarpa. The complete chloroplast genome of O. betschleriana provides new insight into Salicaceae evolutionary and genomic studies.
