The complete chloroplast genome of Chimonobambusa angustifolia C. D. Chu et C. S. Chao, a fiber and bamboo shoot species in Poaceae

Abstract

Chimonobambusa angustifolia is a famous ornamental and edible bamboo species. Here, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of C. angustifolia was assembled and annotated. The cp genome is 139,611 bp in size, consisting of two copies of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 21,799 bp, one large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,202 bp, and one small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,811 bp. It encodes 133 genes (110 unique), including 86 protein-coding genes (77 unique), 39 tRNA genes (29 unique), and 8 rRNA genes (4 unique). Phylogenetic analysis based on 21 cp genome sequences within four genera of family Poaceae indicated that genus Chimonobambusa were closely related to genus Shibataea, both belong to subtribe Shlbataeinae.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Chimonobambusa luzhiensis, an endangered species endemic to Guizhou Province, China

“… 2021 ; Xu et al. 2022 ) have been reported: C. hejiangensis , C. sichuanensis , and C. angustifolia . In this study, we reported a new chloroplast genome of this genus ( C. luzhiensis ), which will contribute to the genetic and conservation research of this plant.…”
