The complete chloroplast genome of Nageia fleuryi (Hickel) de Laub. (Podocarpaceae)

Nageia fleuryi (Hickel) de Laub. 1987 belongs to the genus Nageia in the family Podocarpaceae and is distributed throughout southeast Asia, including China, Vietnam, and Cambodia. It is a plant with high economic beneficial for food and construction industries. Here, we report on the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of N. fleuryi for the first time. The complete cp genome is similar to many gymnosperm plants, however, it lacks inverted repeat regions and does not possess a typical quadripartite structure. The complete cp genome is 133,870 bp in size and the overall guanine-cytosine (GC) content was found to be 37.27%. The total number of genes is 119, including 82 protein-coding genes, 33 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Of these, 14 genes contain one intron, two genes contain two introns, and rps12 possessed a trans-splicing mechanism. Finally, the phylogenic tree demonstrated that N. fleuryi is closely related to Nageia nagi (AB830885.1 and LC572156.1)
