Abstract

Abies balsamea is native to the mountains of North America and often used as Christmas Trees. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of A. balsamea. The complete chloroplast genome is 121,574 bp in length, comprising a large single copy (LSC) region of 67,211 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 53,835 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 264 bp each. The genome contains 114 genes and they were 68 peptide-encoding genes, 35 tRNA genes, 4 rRNA genes, 6 open reading frames and one pseudogene. Loss of ndh genes and inverted repeat sequences were identified in this genome. The phylogenetic analysis confirms that the Abies species are supported as monophyletic, with high bootstrap values.
