Abstract:
Agave sisalana is one of the Agave cultivars for sisal fiber production around the tropical areas of the world. In the present study, we successfully sequenced and assembled its chloroplast genome. The full size of the genome is 157,268 bp with a GC content at 37.85%. The genome is constructed with a large single copy region (LSC, 85,894 bp), a pair of inverted repeat regions (IR, 26,573 bp) and a small single copy region (SSC, 18,228 bp). Besides, 86 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNAs and 8 rRNAs are annotated on the chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic result reveals that A. sisalana is closely related with A. americana and A. H11648.
