Abstract
Quercus ciliaris C.C.Huang & Y.T.Chang is one of the dominant tree species in the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests of China. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of the species. The circular genome is 160,842 bp in size, consisting of two copies of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,823 bp, one large single-copy (LSC) region of 90,294 bp, and one small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,902 bp. It encodes a total of 114 unique genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on cp genome sequences of 35 Fagaceae species indicated that Q. ciliaris was among the members of section Cyclobalanopsis, and was most closely related to Q. myrsinifolia.
