Comparative Analysis of Whole Chloroplast Genomes of Three Common Species of Echinochloa (Gramineae) in Paddy Fields.

ABSTRACT: Echinochloa crus-galli var. crus-galli, E. crus-galli var. zelayensis, and E. glabrescens, morphologically similar at the seedling stage, are the most pernicious barnyard grass species in paddy fields worldwide. Chloroplast (cp) genomes could be conducive to their identification. In this study, we assembled the complete cp genome sequences of Echinochloa crus-galli var. crus-galli (139,856 bp), E. crus-galli var. zelayensis (139,874 bp), and E. glabrescens (139,874 bp), which exhibited a typical circular tetramerous structure, large and small single-copy regions, and a pair of inverted repeats. In Echinochloa crus-galli var. crus-galli, there were 136 simple sequence (SSRs) and 62 long (LRs) repeats, and in
