The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Oryza eichingeri (Poaceae). Issue 2 (2nd January 2017) - Liu, Fang
Abstract: The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Oryza eichingeri (GenBank accession number: KX085496) was generated by de novo assembly with low-coverage whole-genome sequence data. The chloroplast genome is 134, 821 bp in length and showed conserved typical chloroplast structure. The cpDNA contained four rRNA, 39 tRNA, and 79 unique protein-coding genes. Seventeen genes contain one intron, only ycf3 contains two introns; rps12 is trans-spliced, one of its exons is in the LSC region (5′_end) and the two reside in the IR regions (3′_end) separated. A pair of gene ndhH, due to the 5′ part of ndhH which overlaps the IR/SSC junctions, was two unique genes. The AT content of O. eichingeri cp genome is 61%. Phylogenomic analysis showed that O. eichingeri is closely related to O. officinalis . The complete cpDNA of O. eichingeri provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis for the genus Oryza .
