Abstract
Hippophae tibetana adapted well to the unique plateau climate, diffused in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau-Himalayas. Here, we characterized the complete chloroplast genome of Hippophae tibetana. The chloroplast genome is found to be 155,810 bp in length with 36.67% GC contents. The chloroplast genome sequences encoding 131 genes, including 85 mRNA genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic trees further revealed that Hippophae tibetana is an independent species different from the model species Hippophae rhamnoides and chloroplast genome sequence showed a significant variation within and between closely related Hippophae genus.
