The complete chloroplast genome of Phyllostachys heteroclada f. solida (Poaceae)

Abstract

Phyllostachys heteroclada f. solida is a precious wood-use bamboo resource, with almost solid stem. The complete chloroplast genome of the Phyllostachys heteroclada f. solida was the first time to assemble from Illumina pair-end sequencing data in this work. The total genome size of Phyllostachys heteroclada f. solida was 156,559 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 89,200 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 14,876 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 23,798 bp. The overall GC content of the genome was 36.12%, and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions were 36.98, 33.15, and 44.22%, respectively. A total of 136 genes were annotated, including 88 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis results strongly supported that Phyllostachys heteroclada f. solida was closely related to Phyllostachys reticulate.
