Abstract:
The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Lophatherum gracile Brongn. was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 140,595 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 82,447 bp, and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 12,626 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 22,761 bp. The genome contains 130 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 39 transfer RNA genes. The further phylogenomic analysis showed that L. gracile and Zeugites pittieri clustered in a clade in Poaceae family.

LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...
