Abstract

Abies chensiensis Van Tiegh. (Pinaceae) is a rare and endangered endemic conifer in China. In this study, using the Illumina sequencing platform, we firstly characterized its whole plastid genome sequence. Our study revealed that A. chensiensis have a typical plastid genome of 121,498 bp in length, comprised of a large single copy region of 76,484 bp, a small single copy region of 42,654 bp and two inverted repeat regions of 1180 bp. A total of 113 genes, 74 protein-coding genes, 35 tRNA, and 4 rRNA genes were identified. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that A. chensiensis was placed as a sister to the congeneric A. sibirica.

Keywords: Abies chensiensis; phylogenetic analysis; plastid genome.
