Deskripsi
Abies yuanbaoshanensis is critically endangered and restricted in the Yuanbao Mountain of China, with no more than 900 surviving individuals. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of A. yuanbaoshanensis. The complete chloroplast genome is 121,795 bp in size. In total, 114 genes were identified, including 68 peptide-encoding genes, 35 tRNA genes, 4 rRNA genes, 6 open reading frames, and 1 pseudogene. Thirteen genes contain introns. In phylogenetic analysis, both the ML and BI analyses supported the monophyly of the genus Abies. Our study will provide potential genetic resources for further conservation and evolutionary studies of this highly endangered species.
