The complete chloroplast genome of Phyllostachys angusta McClure (Poaceae)

Abstract

Phyllostachys angusta McClure is a precious wood-use bamboo resource, with almost straight stem. The complete chloroplast genome of the P. angusta McClure was assembled for the first time from Illumina pair-end sequencing data in this work. The total genome size of P. angusta McClure was 139,678 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,212 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,870 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 21,798 bp. The overall GC content of the genome was 38.89%, and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions were 36.97, 33.17, and 44.22%, respectively. A total of 131 genes were annotated, including 85 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis results strongly supported that P. angusta McClure was closely related to P. reticulate.
