Abstract

Abstract: Stipa bungeana Trin. 1833 is an important forage grass in Poaceae, widely distributed in the temperate steppe of Northern China, with strong grazing tolerance and feeding value. In this study, we performed the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of S. bungeana to explore its phylogenetic position with other Stipa . The results showed that the circular complete cp genome of S. bungeana was 137, 759 bp in length, including a large single copy (LSC) of 81, 652 bp, a small single copy (SSC) of 12, 817 bp, and two inverted repeats (IR) of 21, 645 bp. The GC content accounts for 43.71% and annotated 134 single genes, which include 87 protein-coding genes, eight rRNA genes, and 39 tRNA genes. Maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree suggested that the S. bungeana was closely related to other Stipa except for S. purpurea .
