The complete chloroplast genome of Distylium tsiangii Chun ex Walker, a rare and endangered plant.

ABSTRACT: Distylium tsiangii Chun ex Walker is an evergreen tree species endemic to China. It has been classified as critically endangered in the Red List of China Higher Plants. Here, we sequenced, assembled, and analyzed the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of D. tsiangii. The plastome is 159,125 bp in length, with a typical quadripartite structure and consisting of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (26,220 bp) separated by a large single copy (LSC) region (87,897 bp) and a small single copy (SSC) region (18,788 bp). The overall GC content was 38.00%. A total of 131 genes were annotated, including 37 tRNA genes, 86 protein-coding genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that D. tsiangii was more closely related to Parrotia subaequalis.
