The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Camellia sinensis var. sinensis cultivar “Yuexiangzao”

Camellia sinensis var. sinensis cultivar “Yuexiangzao” (YXZ) was a new tea cultivar in China. In this study, we reported a complete chloroplast (CP) genome based on the DNGSEQ sequencing technology. The CP genome sequence of YXZ was 157,041 bp in length and contained a large single copy (LSC, 86,594 bp), a small single copy (SSC, 18,291 bp), and two inverted repeats (IRs, 26,078 bp). The GC contents of LSC, SSC, and two IRs were 35.31%, 30.53%, and 42.94%, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis showed that YXZ was closely related to C. sinensis cv. “Tieluohan” and C. sinensis cv. “Xinyang 10.”
