Abstract
Vatica guangxiensis S.L. Mo is an evergreen large tree of Dipterocarpaceae. Herein, we assembled the complete chloroplast genome of Vatica guangxiensis by next-generation sequencing technologies. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Vatica guangxiensis is 151,010 base pairs (bp) in length, including a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 23,827 bp), one large single-copy region (LSC, 83,353 bp), one small single-copy region (SSC, 20,003 bp). Besides, the complete chloroplast genome contains 123 genes in total, including 83 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Vatica guangxiensis has the closest relationship with Vatica mangachapoi. Our study lay a foundation for further research of Vatica mangachapoi.
