The complete chloroplast genome of a fast-growing tree Lophostemon confertus (Myrtaceae).


ABSTRACT: Lophostemon confertus (Myrtaceae), a fast-growing ornamental tree, is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. To determine its phylogenetic position within Myrtaceae, here we report its complete chloroplast (cp) genome, which is 160,297 bp long and contains two inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,490 bp each, separated by a small single-copy region of 18,826 bp and a large single-copy region of 88,491 bp. The cp genome contains 123 genes, including 73 unique protein-coding genes (six duplicated in the IR regions), 29 unique tRNA genes (seven duplicated in the IR regions), and four unique rRNA genes (all located in the IR regions). Phylogenetic analysis of 18 species of Myrtaceae showed that L. confertus is sister to Xanthostemon chrysanthus. The complete cp genome of L. confertus provides a valuable genetic resource for further phylogenetic studies.
