The Complete Chloroplast Genome and the Phylogenetic Analysis of <i>Fimbristylis littoralis</i> (Cyperaceae) Collected in Cherry Blossom Nursery.

ABSTRACT: Fimbristylis littoralis, also known as globe fringerush, is one of the most troublesome annual Cyperaceae weeds in dryland fields and nurseries in the Yangtze Plain, Middle and Lower in China. The chloroplast (cp) genome of F. littoralis, and even this genus, has not been studied yet. In this study, the feature of the cp genome of F. littoralis and its phylogenetic relationships has been reported for the first time. It exhibited a typical circular tetramerous structure, with 86 protein-encoding genes. There were 149 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and 1932 long repeats (LRs) detected. The IR expansion and contraction revealed the uniqueness of F. littoralis because there is a special cross-boundary gene, rps3, located at the LSC/IRb junction. Phylogenetic
