Complete chloroplast genome of Engelhardtia fenzlii (Juglandaceae).

In this study, we successfully assembled and analyzed the chloroplast genome of Engelhardtia fenzlii. The chloroplast genome of E. fenzlii was very similar to those of other Juglandaceae species. The E. fenzlii chloroplast genome is 161,713 bp in length and displays the typical quadripartite structure, which consists of a pair of IR regions (26,016 bp) separated by an LSC region (90,478 bp) and an SSC region (19,203 bp). The chloroplast genome of E. fenzlii contained a total of 112 unique genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis based on the complete chloroplast genomes showed that Engelhardtia formed a monophyletic clade and E. fenzlii was sister to E. roxburghiana. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
