Abstract:
Agave hybrid 11648 is the most widely cultivated agave variety for sisal fiber production around the world. In the present study, we have successfully sequenced the chloroplast genome of A. H11648. The complete chloroplast genome size is 157,274 bp in length with a GC content of 37.8%. The genome contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 85,896 bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,230 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IR) of 26,574 bp. 121 genes are annotated in the chloroplast genome. The numbers of protein-coding, tRNA and rRNA genes are 99, 40 and 8, respectively. Phylogenetic tree reveals that A. H11648 is closely related to A. americana.
