Characterization of the Complete Chloroplast Genome of Camellia Granthamiana (theaceae), a Vulnerable Species Endemic to China.

Camellia granthamiana is a wild camellia resource endemic to China and is listed as a Vulnerable species globally. Here, we reported and characterized its complete chloroplast (cp) genome by using Illumina pair-end sequencing data. The total chloroplast genome size was 157,001bp, including inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,042bp, separated by a large single copy (LSC) and a small single copy (SSC) of 86,622 and 18,295bp, respectively. A total of 131 genes, including 36 tRNA, 8 Rrna, and 87 protein-coding genes were identified. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. granthamiana is sister to C. sinensis with 100% value support.
