Abstract:
Onobrychis viciifolia is mainly distributed in Europe and has been widely cultivated in North and Northwest of China. The complete chloroplast genome was sequenced using the Illumina Hiseq X-Ten platform. The genome lacks an inverted repeat (IR) region, containing 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs genes and 4 rRNAs. The overall GC content is 34.6%. A phylogenetic tree based on the whole chloroplast genomes of 14 species indicated that Onobrychis viciifolia belonged to the tribe Hydysareae in IRLC group of the subfamily Papilionoideae (Leguminosae), and it was sister to the genus Hedysarum.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
