The complete chloroplast genome of Styrax dasyanthus Perkins (Styracaceae)

In this work, next-generation sequencing was applied to measure the complete chloroplast genome of S. dasyanthus for the sake of offering valuable genomic information to promote its conservation. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. dasyanthus was measured as 157,501 bp in size. It contains the typical structure and gene content of angiosperm plastome, which includes a large single-copy (LSC), a small single-copy (SSC), and 2 inverted repeat (IR) regions of 87,130 bp, 18,277 bp, and 26,047 bp, respectively. The S. dasyanthus chloroplast genome has a total of 130 genes including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Overall, GC contents of the genome were 36.96%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 29 chloroplast genome measurement demonstrated that S. dasyanthus is most closely related to Styrax grandiflours Griff.
