The plastid genome of an oil plants Cinnamomum chago (Lauraceae)

Abstract

Cinnamomum chago B.S. Sun & H.L. Zhao is an economically important wild woody oil plant of the genus Cinnamomum Trew belonging the family Lauraceae. To better determine its phylogenetic location with respect to the other Cinnamomum species, the complete plastid genome of C. chago was sequenced. The whole plastome is 152,753 bp in length, consisting of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 20,074 bp, one large single-copy (LSC) region of 93,722 bp, and one small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,883 bp. The overall GC content of the whole plastome is 39.2%. Further, maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyse was conducted using 12 complete plastomes of the Lauraceae, which support the close relationship between C. chago and C. verum.

“… 2019 ), and 972 bp shorter than C. chago (152,753 bp, LAU00078) (Chen et al. 2019 ). S. randaiense chloroplast genome composed of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 92,740 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,813 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 20,114 bp ( Supplemental Figures 2 and 3 ).…”

The chloroplast genome of aromatic plants Cinnamomum burmanni (Lauraceae)

“…The whole plastid genome was sequenced following Yang et al (2014), and their 11 universal primer pairs were used to perform longrange PCR for next-generation sequencing. The contigs were aligned using the publicly available plastid genome of Cinnamomum chago (Accession Number: LAU00078) (Chen et al 2019) and annotated in Geneious 4.8.…”

The complete plastid genome of Chinese cinnamon, Cinnamomum aromaticum Nees (Lauraceae)

“…To reconstruct the phylogenetic tree of C. aromaticum, we included 19 plastid genomes in previous publications and unpublished data in GenBank (Figure 1) (Song 2016;Wu et al 2016;Chen et al 2017Chen et al , 2019Song et al 2017;Zeng et al 2018). We aligned the data matrix using MAFFT v.1.3.7 (Katoh and Standley 2013) with default parameters.…”
