The complete chloroplast genome of Indosasa hispida ‘Rainbow’ (Poaceae, Bambuseae): an ornamental bamboo species in horticulture

Abstract

Indosasa hispida ‘Rainbow’ is a new horticultural plant variety for anthocyanin production, which has great ornamental value and huge market potential. The chloroplast genome is 139,690 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 83,268 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 12,830 bp, and a pair of 21,796 bp inverted repeats region (IR). The GC content of chloroplast genome is 38.9%. There are 130 genes in the cp genome, including 83 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 39 transfer RNA genes. In addition, phylogenetic analysis firmly supported that I. hispida 'Rainbow' constituted that a sister species with Pleioblastus maculatus.
