Abstract
The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of an endangered tree species, Zelkova schneideriana, was first assembled and characterized based on Illumina pair-end sequencing. The cp genome is 158,991 bp in length, with a quantitative structure comprising a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,427 bp separated by a large single copy (LSC) of 87,424 bp, a small single copy (SSC) of 18,713 bp. A total of 129 genes were annotated including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on the cp genomes indicates that Z. schneideriana is closely related to genus Ulums in Ulmaceae.
