Abstract:
Melica scabrosa Trin. is an important forage grass of Poaceae, wildly distributed in the Northeast Asia to Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of M. scabrosa was obtained by de novo assembly using whole genome sequence data. The chloroplast genome is 134,889 bp in length, containing 80,560 bp in a large single copy (LSC), 12,706 bp in a small single copy (SSC) and 20,810 bp in a pair of inverted repeats (IRs). A total of 129 genes including 83 protein-coding genes and 38 structural RNA genes were identified. Phylogenetic analysis represented close relationship among Melica species. This chloroplast genome sequencing offers a useful resource for future genetics and phylogenetic studies.
