Abstract:
Typha orientalis is an important wetland macrophyte native to the eastern parts of Asia and Oceania. Herein, the complete chloroplast genome of this species was assembled and characterized using whole-genome next-generation sequencing. The complete chloroplast genome showed a circular genome of 160,969 bp size with 36.6% GC content. The genome is of typical structure and contains a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions with 26,691 bp, separated by one large single-copy (LSC) with 89,118 bp, and one small single-copy (SSC) regions with 18,469 bp. The genome contained 132 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed based on 15 chloroplast genomes reveals that T. orientalis is most related to Typha latifolia.
