Abstract

Cyperus glomeratus plays an important role in sand fixation, soil improvement, and water purification. Here we have sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of the C. glomeratus, which is 167,523 bp in length with large (LSC 81,756 bp) and small single-copy (SSC 9,385 bp) regions separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs 38,191 bp) and contains 134 functional genes including 92 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 34 tRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis showed a strong sister relationship with Hypolytrum nemorum in Cyperaceae. Our findings provide a foundation for further investigation of chloroplast genome evolution in C. glomeratus.
