Abstract
This study aimed to map and determine the complete chloroplast genome sequence of a rare Betulaceae species, Corylus chinensis Franch., on the basis of the Illumina sequencing data. The complete chloroplast genome is 159,915 bp, and comprises a pair of inverted repeat regions of 26,989 bp each, a large single-copy region of 88,115 bp, and a small single-copy region of 17,822 bp. It harbors 132 genes, including 95 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 29 transfer RNA genes. The overall A+T content of the whole genome is 63.51 %. A phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genomes has indicated that C. chinensis Franch. is closely related to Ostrya rehderiana.
