Abstract
Abies chensiensis is listed as a threatened species in the Red List and categorized as key protected wild plants in China. Here, we determined the complete chloroplast genome of A. chensiensis using the Illumina MiSeq platform. The genome was 121,795 bp in length, comprising a large single copy (LSC) region of 67,160 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 54,107 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 264 bp each. It was composed of 114 genes, including 68 peptide-encoding genes, 35 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), four ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), six open reading frames and one pseudogene. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. chensiensis was most closely related to A. beshanzuensis, with high bootstrap values. The present research will provide potential genetic resources for further conservation and management strategies.
