The complete chloroplast genome sequence of <i>Arytera littoralis</i> (Sapindoideae, Sapindaceae)

<i>Arytera littoralis</i> Blume 1847 is an evergreen small tree belonging to the Sapindaceae family. It is distributed in South China to SE Asia and the Solomon Islands. However, the chloroplast genome of <i>A. littoralis</i> has yet to be reported. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of <i>Arytera littoralis</i> was determined. The total genome size was 161,091 bp in length, consisting of two inverted repeats (IRs) (28,432 bp) separated by the large single-copy (LSC) (85,737 bp) and small single-copy (SSC) (18,490 bp) regions. The genome contained 133 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The GC content of the complete chloroplast genome was 37.8%. A maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree of <i>A. littoralis</i> and 13 related species from the family Sapindaceae indicated that <i>A. littoralis</i> was close to a clade composed of <i>Sapindus</i>, <i>Nephelium</i>, <i>Litchi</i>, and <i>Dimocarpus</i>. This study will offer essential genetic resources of <i>A. littoralis</i> and provide insights into the phylogeny and evolution of Sapindaceae.
