Abstract:
The whole chloroplast genome of wild rice (Oryza australiensis) is characterized in this study. The genome size is 135,224 bp, exhibiting a typical circular structure including a pair of 25,776 bp inverted repeats (IRa,b) separated by a large single-copy region (LSC) of 82,212 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 12,470 bp. The overall GC content of the genome is 38.95%. 110 unique genes were annotated, including 76 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30t RNA genes. Among these, 18 are duplicated in the inverted repeat regions, 13 genes contain one intron, and 2 genes (rps12 and ycf3) have two introns.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
