The complete chloroplast genome of Dipteronia sinensis (Aceraceae), an endangered endemic species to China

The complete chloroplast sequence of D. sinensis was reported in this study. The total length was 157 080 bp containing a pair of 26 766 bp inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb), which were separated by a small single copy regions and a large single copy regions (SSC and LSC) of 18 093 and 85 455 bp, respectively. A total of 138 functional genes were annotated, which included 90 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNAs, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the complete chloroplast genome is 37.8% and in LSC, SSC and IR regions were 35.9%, 32.1%, and 42.7%, respectively. The maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis revealed that D. sinensis was closely related to A. buergerianum subsp. Ningpoense in Sapindales order.
