Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Elaeagnus henryi Warb. ex Diels (Elaeagnaceae)

Elaeagnus henryi Warb. ex Diels belongs to the Elaeagnaceae. Here, we reveal the complete chloroplast genome of Elaeagnus henryi. The complete chloroplast genome is 152,244 bp in length and contains a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,235 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,279 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,865 bp. There are 126 genes, including 81 protein-coding, 37 transfer RNA (tRNA), and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The total GC content of the chloroplast genome sequence is 37.1%. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis indicated that E. henryi was sister to Elaeagnus pungens (MW145133). The result may be because the species are advanced and developed from the same ancestor.
