Abstract:
Arundo formosana Hack. belongs to the Arundionideae subfamily of Poaceae. In this study, we sequenced and assembled the complete chloroplast genome of A. formosana. The complete chloroplast genome was 136,919 bp in size, including a large single copy region of 82,039 bp, a small single-copy region of 12,108 bp and a pair of reverse repeats of 21,386 bp in size. The annotation of A. formosana indicates that it contained 81 protein-coding genes, 47 tRNA and 8 rRNA. Our phylogenetic analysis of the 36 grass complete chroloplast genomes of protein-coding genes using Cyperus rotundus as outgroup showed that A. formosana is closely related to Crinipes species to form the Arundionideae lineage of the grass family.
