Abstract

Styrax faberi Perk., a native plant belonging to Styracaceae mainly distributed in the region south of the Yantze River, China, is both a medicinal and landscape plant. Here we studied the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of S. faberi by using next-generation sequencing. The whole complete cp genome of S. faberi totals 159,424 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,845 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,027 bp 133 genes, including 8 rRNA genes, 37 tRNAs genes, and 88 protein-coding genes constituted the genome. The GC content of S. faberi is 36.92%. The phylogenetic analysis reveals that S. faberi is a sister species to Styrax odoratissimus and Styrax zhejiangensis in Styracaceae.

Keywords: Styrax faberi; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic tree.
