Abstract:
The Bienertia sinuspersici chloroplast whole genome (cpDNA) sequencing was completed in this study. Bienertia sinuspersici chloroplast genome is 153,472 bp in length and contains 127 genes, such as 83 unique protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes and eight rRNA genes. There were two inverted repeat regions (IR) and small and large single-copy regions (SSC and LSC) with 24,948 bp, 19,016 and 84,560 bp, respectively. 59% of the B. sinuspersici cpDNA consisted of gene-coding regions (protein-coding and RNA genes). The overall GC contents of the B. sinuspersici cpDNA were 36.59% and in the LSC, SSC and IR regions were 34.47%, 29.42% and 42.94%, respectively. A phylogenetic analysis of seven complete cpDNA from Chenopodiaceae family shows that B. sinuspersici cpDNA is closely related to Salicornia species.

Two models describe the mechanism of precursor recognition and entry across the outer membrane through the TOC complex. Model 1 suggests the newly synthesized precursor binds to the TOC receptor 159 and forms a complex.
