Abstract

Camellia kissii is cultivated for a long time as an oil crop for edible and industrial oils, and has the functions of high oil production rate and unique health care. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of C. kissii is 156,961 bp in length with GC content of 39.29%. It presents a quadrate structure, including a large single-copy (LSC) region (86,640 bp), a small single-copy (SSC) region (18,399 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) (25,961 bp). Meanwhile, 15 complete chloroplast genome of Camellia was aligned to explore the phylogenetic significance of Camellia. And the genetic relationship between Camellia kissii and Camellia huana was found to be closest.

Keywords: Camellia kissii; chloroplast genome; oil production; phylogenetic significance.
