Abstract

Magnolia baillonii is an important tropical and sub-tropical precious wood tree species in China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of M. baillonii was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data. The cpDNA is 160,107 bp in length, contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 88,141 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,905 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,574 bp. The genome contains 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 39.3%. Further phylogenomic analysis showed that M. baillonii clustered together with Magnolia insignis.
