Comparative and Phylogenetic Analysis of Complete Chloroplast Genomes in Leymus (Triticodae, Poaceae).

ABSTRACT: Leymus is a perennial genus that belongs to the tribe Triticeae (Poaceae) which has an adaptive capacity to ecological conditions and strong resistance to cold, drought, and salinity. Most Leymus species are fine herbs that can be used for agriculture, conservation, and landscaping. Due to confusion taxonomy within genera, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of 13 Leymus species was sequenced, assembled, and compared with those of three other previously published Leymus species (Leymus condensatus, Leymus angustus, and Leymus mollis) to clarify the issue. Overall, the whole cp genome size ranged between 135,057 (L. condensatus) and 136,906 bp (Leymus coreanus) and showed a typical quadripartite structure. All studied species h
