Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of a Black Spruce (Picea mariana) from Eastern Canada

Abstract

Here, we present the chloroplast genome sequence of black spruce ( Picea mariana ), a conifer widely distributed throughout North American boreal forests. This complete and annotated chloroplast sequence is 123,961 bp long and will contribute to future studies on the genetic basis of evolutionary change in spruce and adaptation in conifers.
