Abstract
Acer tutcheri Duthie is a popular ornamental tree with reddish leaves and bright red fruits. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome of it. The cp genome was determined to be 156,973 bp in length, containing a large single copy (LSC) region of 85,356 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,111 bp and two separated inverted region of 26,753 bp, respectively. It encodes a total of 132 unique genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicates that A. tutcheri is sister to A. wilsonii Rehd.
