The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Populus adenopoda (Salicaceae)

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Populus adenopoda was characterized from Illumina pair-end sequencing. The chloroplast genome of P. adenopoda was 155,533 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 84,818 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 16,845 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,935 bp. The overall GC content is 30.7%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.5%, 30.5%, and 42.3%, respectively. The genome contains 131 complete genes, including 86 protein-coding genes (62 protein-coding gene species), 37 tRNA genes (29 tRNA species) and 8 rRNA genes (4 rRNA species). The neighbour-joining phylogenetic analysis showed that P. adenopoda and Populus alba clustered together as sisters to other Populus species.
