The complete chloroplast genome of Firmiana danxiaensis, an endangered species endemic to Danxia landform in Southern China.

ABSTRACT: We sequenced the complete chloroplast of Firmiana danxiaensis (Malvaceae), which is 161,253?bp in size and consists of a large single-copy region (LSC) of 90,142?bp and a short single copy region (SSC) of 20,067?bp. It was separated by two inverted repeats (IRs) regions of 25,522?bp for each. The GC content of the whole genome, LSC, SSC, and IRs region was 36.87%, 34.68%, 31.24%, and 42.97%, respectively. The overall base content was A (31.07%), T (32.05%), C (18.80%), and G (18.08%). The genome contained 127 genes, including 82 protein-coding sequences, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that F. danxiaensis is sister to F. simplex, and supported there was a close relationship among F. danxiaensis, F. simplex, and F. pulcherrima.
