Abstract

Syringa oblata Lindl. is a popular ornamental shrub with aroma compounds. Here, we sequenced and assembled the complete chloroplast genome of S. oblata. The complete chloroplast genome of S. oblata is 155,648 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeated (IRa and IRb) region of 25,732 bp that are separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 86,247 bp, and a small single copy (SSC) region of 17,937 bp. A total of 132 functional genes were annotated, including 88 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The Neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on complete chloroplast genomes suggested that S. oblata is most closely related to S. vulgaris.

Keywords: Oleaceae; Syringa oblata; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic tree.
