The complete chloroplast genome of Dipterocarpus turbinatus Gaertn. F

Abstract

Dipterocarpus turbinatus Gaertn. F., naturally distributes in Southern China, which is an elite natural tree with high economic and medicinal value. In study, all chloroplast (cp) genome of Dipterocarpus turbinatus Gaertn. F. was assembled and characterized based on Illumina pair-end sequencing data. The complete chloroplast genome length was 152,279 bp. It contained a large (LSC, 83,862 bp) and a small (SSC, 20,215 bp) single copy region, separated by a pair of inverted repeats of 24,101 bp (IRs). The overall GC content of genome was 37.3%, the corresponding values of LSC, SSC, and IR regions were 35.3, 31.6, and 43.2%, respectively. There were 128 genes in the genome including 84 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Among all genes, 14 genes contain a single intron and 1 gene has two introns. The result showed that Dipterocarpus turbinatus Gaertn. F. was closely related to Vatica mangachapoi.
