Abstract
The whole chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Bennettiodendron leprosipes has been characterized from Illumina pair-end sequencing. The complete cp genome was 157,872 bp in length containing a large single copy region (LSC) of 85,643 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 16,439 bp, which were separated by a pair of 27,895 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). The genome contained 130 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of B. leprosipes cp genome is 36.7%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.5, 30.7, and 41.9%, respectively. Further, phylogenetic analysis suggested that the location of B. leprosipes is an outgroup to the genera of Salix and Populus.
