The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Ehrharta erecta Lam. (Poaceae)

Abstract

The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Ehrharta erecta was sequenced and assembled for the first time. In this study, The total genome size is 134,511 bp in length and demonstrates a typical quadripartite structure containing a large single copy (LSC, 95,227 bp) and a small single copy (SSC, 12,306 bp), separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRa, IRb) of 13,489 bp. The G + C content of this chloroplast genome was 38.76%. Gene annotation analysis identified 130 genes including 84 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis result showed that E. erecta was closely related to O. sativa in the phylogenetic relationship.
