The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Bambusoideae: Arundinarieae): an ornamental bamboo species endemic to China.

We, at first, fully characterized the complete chloroplast genome of the woody bamboo using genome skimming and focused on comparative analyses among and . This newly sequenced chloroplast genome (GenBank NO. MN917206) is a typical circular structure with 139,711 bp in length and comprises of an 83,295 bp large single-copy (LSC) region, a 12,824 bp small single-copy (SSC) region, and a pair of 21,796 bp inverted repeats (IRs). The GC content of is 38.9% and the sequences contained 132 unique genes were successfully annotated, including 39 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 85 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis shows that is highly clustered in the clade (clade VI) of Arundinarieae, a sister of the clade of and was not clustered on the same branch as . Therefore, it is more accurate to classify into .
