Resumo: 	Abstract Araucaria angustifolia is endemic to southern Brazil. Known as Brazilian pine, A. angustifolia is the only native conifer species with economic and social relevance in this country. Due to massive exploitation, it has suffered a significant population decline and currently is classified as critically endangered. This encouraged the scientific community to investigate genetic features in Brazilian pine to increase resources for management and preservation. In this work, RNA-Seq data was used to determine the complete nucleotide sequence of the A. angustifolia chloroplast genome (cpDNA). The cpDNA is 146,203 bp in length and contains 122 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 5 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. Coding regions comprise 45.02%, 4.96% correspond to rRNAs and tRNAs, and 50.02% of the genome encompasses non-coding regions. Genes found in the inverted repeat (IR) are present as single copy, with exception of the rrn5 and trnI-CAU loci. The typical LSC, SSC, IRa and IRb organization reported in several land-plant groups is not present in A. angustifolia cpDNA. Phylogenetic analyses using Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood methods clustered A. angustifolia in the Araucariaceae family, with A. heterophylla and A. columnaris as congeneric species. The screening of A. angustifolia cpDNA reveled 100 SSRs, 14 of them corresponding to tetrapolymer loci.
