The plastid genome of a spice plants Cinnamomum glanduliferum in Tibet (Lauraceae)
Abstract
Abstract Cinnamomum glanduliferum (Wall) Meissn is a commercially important timber tree and wild spice plants of the genus Cinnamomum Trew in the family Lauraceae. To determine its phylogenetic location with respect to the other Cinnamomum species, the complete plastid genome of C. glanduliferum was sequenced. The whole plastome is 152,715\u2009bp in length, consisting of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 20,114\u2009bp, one large single copy (LSC) region of 93,617\u2009bp, and one small single copy (SSC) region of 18,870\u2009bp. The overall GC content of the whole plastome is 39.1%. Further, maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyse was conducted using 13 complete plastomes of the Lauraceae, which support close relationship between C. glanduliferum and C. bodinieri.
