Comparative and Phylogenetic Analysis Based on the Chloroplast Genome of Coleanthus subtilis (Tratt.) Seidel, a Protected Rare Species of Monotypic Genus.

ABSTRACT: Coleanthus subtilis (Tratt.) Seidel (Poaceae) is an ephemeral grass from the monotypic genus Coleanthus Seidl, which grows on wet muddy areas such as fishponds or reservoirs. As a rare species with strict habitat requirements, it is protected at international and national levels. In this study, we sequenced its whole chloroplast genome for the first time using the next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology on the Illumina platform, and performed a comparative and phylogenetic analysis with the related species in Poaceae. The complete chloroplast genome of C. subtilis is 135,915 bp in length, with a quadripartite structure having two 21,529 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs) dividing the entire circular genome into a large single copy region (LSC) of 80,100 bp and
