Abstract

Here, the complete chloroplast genome of Keteleeria fortunei, a vulnerable species in China, was sequenced by next-generation sequencing platform. Its circular genome was 117,183 bp in length and the GC content was 38.5%. A total of 101 genes were annotated, including 4 rRNA genes, 20 tRNA genes, and 71 protein coding genes. This study would further our understanding of the genomics and the conservation and utilization of K. fortunei.
