The Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence Of Magnolia Delavayi (Magnoliaceae), A Rare Ornamental And Medical Tree Endemic To China

Magnolia delavayi is a rare, famous ornamental and important medical tree endemic to China. Here, we assembled the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of M. delavayi. Its length is 159,715 bp with four sub-regions: 87,906 bp of large single-copy region and 18,761 bp of small single-copy region are separated by two inverted repeats regions, each 26,524 bp. The genome contains 77 protein-coding genes, 6 rRNAs, and 29 tRNAs genes. Phylogenetic analysis of cp genome of M. delavayi with previously reported chloroplast genomes in Magnolia shows that M. delavayi is close to M. odoratissima with high bootstrap value.
