Gyrinops walla is an important agarwood-producing tree and threatened species Slotted Spoon from Sri Lanka.Herein, we assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of G.walla as a genomic resource for conservation purposes.The 175,130 bp long genome is comprised of 87,376 bp large single-copy (LSC) and 3316 bp small single-copy (SSC) regions, which are separated by two inverted repeat (IR) region, each with Socks a size of 42,291 bp.A total of 140 genes were predicted for the cp genome, which includes 94 protein-coding, 38 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes.
Phylogenetic analysis showed that G.walla is fully resolved in a sister position to Aquilaria in the family Thymelaeaceae.The data provided will be useful for study on the molecular phylogenetics and evolution of Thymelaeaceae in the future.
