The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Cenchrus purpureus.

ABSTRACT: The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Cenchrus Purpureus, important silage in China, is presented in this article. The total genome size is 138,199 bp, containing a large single copy (LSC) region (81,161 bp) and a small single copy region (12,386 bp) which were separated by two inverted repeat (IRs) regions (22,326 bp). The overall GC contents of the plastid genome were 38.6%. In total, 136 unique genes were annotated and they were consisted of 87 protein-coding genes, 41 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Twenty-four genes duplicated in the LSC and IR regions. Eighteen genes contained one or two introns.
