Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Phragmites australis as a Chinese herb from Phragmites and Poaceae.

ABSTRACT: The root of Phragmites australis can often be used as the Chinese herb in China. In this paper, the complete chloroplast genome of P. australis was studied for more genetic information. The chloroplast genome was 137,561 bp in length as the circular and typical quadripartite structure, which contained a large single-copy region (LSC) of 82,328 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 12,699 bp, and a pair of inverted-repeat regions (IRs) of 21,267 bp. The overall nucleotide composition of chloroplast genome is: 42,300 bp A (30.7%), 42,090 bp T (30.6%), 26,500 bp C (19.3%), 26,671 bp G (19.4%) and the total G + C content of 38.7%. However, 134 genes were found that included 87 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 39 transfer RNA (tRNAs), and 8 ribosome RNA (rRNAs). The Maximum-Likeliho
