Project description:In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Pterocarya macroptera var. delavayi was reported and characterized. The chloroplast genome is 160,168 bp in length, and consists the typical quadripartite structure, a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,007 bp) separated by a large single-copy region (89,701 bp) and a small single-copy region (18,453 bp). A total of 136 unique genes were predicted, including 88 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The GC content of the chloroplast genome is 36.2%. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the close relationship between Pterocarya and Juglans.
