Abstract:
Juncus effusus L., a perennial herbaceous species of family Juncaceae, is distributed mainly in warm areas worldwide. We studied the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of J. effusus through next-generation sequencing technology. The whole cp genome contained 170,612 base pairs, with the GC ratio as 35.99%. The 70 genes annotated from the cp genome include 32 protein coding genes, eight rRNA genes and 30 tRNA genes. The genome's large single-copy region (LSC) was 80,640 bp, with the small single-copy region (SSC) 64,718 bp, and inverted repeat (IR) 12,627 bp. Furthermore, a phylogenetic tree was generated to evaluate evolutionary relationship between J. effusus and relevant species. This study will be beneficial for the further understanding and application of J. effusus.
