Abstract:
Bambusa tuldoides f. swolleninternode is an attractive ornamental bamboo species of southern China, with highly shortened and swollen at the base of internodes. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of B. tuldoides was sequenced and reported for the first time. The complete genome size is 139,460 base pairs (bp), including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,996 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,876 bp and a pair of invert repeats (IR) regions of 21,794 bp. The plastid genome contained 132 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the genome is 39%. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that B. tuldoides is closely related to B. dolichoclada, B. pachinensis var. hirsutissima, and B. utilis, three species in Bambusa based on 16 chloroplast genomes.
