Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of Aesculus chinensis was obtained with Illumina HiSeq X Ten. The chloroplast genome is 155,528 bp in length, including a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,656 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,489 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,727 bp. It contains 115 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 31 transfer RNAs, and four ribosomal RNAs. The total GC content is 37.9%, whereas the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 36.1%, 31.8%, and 43.2%, separately. Phylogenetic analysis of the protein-coding genes showed a close relationship with Aesculus wangii in Hippocastanaceae.
