The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Camellia sinensis cv. Dahongpao: a most famous variety of Wuyi tea (Synonym: Thea bohea L.)

Abstract

Here, combining PacBio and Illumina sequencing data, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of the first Wuyi tea (Bohea), Camellia sinensis cv. Dahongpao (DHP) with very high economic value. The chloroplast genome was 157,077 bp in length, with a large single copy (LSC) region of 86,633 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,282 bp, separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,081 bp each. It contained a total of 137 genes, with an overall GC content of 37.29%. The phylogenetic analysis showed that DHP was sister to C. sinensis cv. Longjing
