Abstract
Quercus acrodonta Seemen is an East Asian evergreen oak tree species belonging to the Quercus section Ilex. Here, we assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of the species. The circular genome is 161,105 bp in size, presenting a typical quadripartite structure including two copies of inverted repeat (IR) regions (25,864 bp), one large single-copy (LSC) region (90,357 bp), and one small single-copy (SSC) region (19,020 bp). A total of 131 genes are encoded, including 85 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 38 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis based on cp genome sequences of 18 Quercus species indicated that Q. acrodonta was more closely related to Q. phillyraeoides.
