The complete chloroplast genome of halophyte Kalidium foliatum (Pall.) Moq., a dominant species of desert grassland.

ABSTRACT: Kalidium foliatum (Pall.) Moq. is a dominant halophyte species of the desert ecosystem mainly distributed in Southeast Europe and Northwest Asia, and used as a major forage grass. Here, we report its complete chloroplast genome, assembled from the whole-genome resequencing data. The circular genome of K. foliatum is 153,773 bp in length, including a typical quadripartite structure consisting of a pair of inverted repeats (IRs; 24,991 bp) separated by large single-copy (LSC; 84,781 bp) and small single-copy (SSC; 19,010 bp) regions. The total GC content is 36.3%, and a total of 129 genes are annotated, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs. The phylogenetic analysis has shown that K. foliatum is positioned as a sister taxon to the two Salicorni
