Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence Ofmichelia Champacavar. Champacalinnaeus, An Ornamental Tree Species Of Magnoliaceae

Michelia champacavar. champacais an ornamentally important tree in Magnoliaceae. The paper reported the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) ofM. champacavar. champacaand its basic annotated information. The size of cpDNA is 160,008 bp, with a typical quadripartite structure of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,037 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,809 bp separated by a pair identical inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26,581 bp each. The genome contained 131 genes (113 unique), including 86 protein-coding genes (80 unique), 37 tRNA genes (29 unique), and eight rRNA genes (four unique). Phylogenetic analysis showed thatM. champacavar. champacais affinal toM. bailloniiand they form a nomophyletic group with other eightMicheliaspecies. ThisMicheliaclade is sister to theAromadendron cathcartiiclade with high support. All genera mentioned in this analysis are nomophyletic under the system of Magnoliaceae by Sima and Lu.
