Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome ofTrachycarpus fortunei

Trachycarpus fortunei(Hook.) H. Wendl. (Fam.: Palmae; Gen.:Trachycarpus) is an evergreen tree that is widely distributed in China. In this study,T. fortuneicomplete chloroplast (cp) genome was assembled. The total cp genome size ofT. fortuneiwas 158,613 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region of 86,422 bp, a small single-copy region of 17,847 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions of 27,172 bp. The overall GC-content ofT. fortuneicp genome was 37.21%. It encodes a total of 109 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 26tRNAgenes, fourrRNAgenes. Twelve genes contain a single intron and 11 genes have two introns. Phylogenetic analysis results reveal thatT. fortuneiwas closely related toChamaerops humilis.
