The complete plastid genome of a drought-tolerant moss, Anomodon attenuatus (Hedw.) hüb

Abstract

We sequenced the complete plastid genome of Anomodon attenuatus. The genome size is 125,320 bp with two inverted repeat regions of 9,948 bp separated by a large single-copy region of 86,847 bp and a small single-copy region of 18,578 bp. It encodes 114 unique genes including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and 4 rRNAgenes. The overall GC content is 29.5%, with 26.9, 26.5, and 43.9% in LSC, SSC, IR regions, respectively. 139 SSRs were identified in the genome. Phylogenetic anlysis showed that the position of A.attenuatus is closely related to S.uncinata, another pleurocarpous moss.
