Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Pinus uliginosa (Neumann) from the Pinus mugo complex

Taxonomic status of endangered peat-bog pine, Pinus uliginosa (Neumann) classified within the Pinus mugo complex, still remains to be elucidated. Here we present a complete chloroplast genome of P. uliginosa , to aid resolve its complex systematical position. The total genome size was 119,877 bp in length and contained a total of 112 genes, including 73 protein-coding genes, 35 tRNAs, and four rRNAs. The most of genes occur as a single copy. Five tRNA genes were duplicated from two to four times. Eighteen genes contain one intron, with a single gene containing two introns. No large inverted repeats were identified. The overall G + C content of P. uliginosa chloroplast genome is 38.5%.
