The complete chloroplast genome of an annual halophyte herb, Suaeda glauca (Amaranthaceae)

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome (plastome) of Suaeda glauca, an annual halophytic herb, was determined in this study. The plastome was 149,807 bp in size, containing a large single-copy region (82,162 bp), a small single-copy region (18,191 bp), and two inverted repeats regions (24,727 bp). The overall GC content of this plastome was 36.5%. In total, 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 tRNAs and 4 rRNAs, were annotated. Phylogenomic analysis showed that S. glauca was sister to other Suaeda species.
