Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of valuable ornamental tree, Camellia japonica L. (Theaceae), was determined. The genome size was 156,971 bp in length, containing a pair of 25,798 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions, which were separated by small and large single copy regions (SSC and LSC) of 18,394 and 86,673 bp, respectively. The cp genome contained 134 genes, including 91 coding genes, six rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome was 37.3%. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the position of C. japonica being sister to the clade containing C. crapnelliana and C. oleifera (subgenus Camellia).
