The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Populus wulianensis

The whole chloroplast genome sequence of Populus wulianensis was assembled and characterized. Its length was 156,553 bp, containing a large fragment of 84,726 bp and a small fragment of 16,551 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeat regions of 27,638 bp. A total of 129 genes were determined in the chloroplast genome, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed that P. wulianensis was close to P. adenopoda but far from P. davidiana. The report here clearly displayed its origin and taxonomic status in Populus.
