Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Elymus magellanicus (É.Desv.) Á.Löve (Poaceae, Pooideae)

Abstract

Elymus magellanicus (É.Desv.) Á.Löve is a foliage accent plant that found in South America. In this study, the mitochondrial genome of E. magellanicus was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The complete circular mitogenome of E. magellanicus is 583,450 bp in length and the overall G + C content of mitogenome is 42.27%. It harbors 39 protein-coding genes, 64 transfer RNA genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 20 simple sequence repeats. Phylogenetic analysis indicates a relatively close relationship of E. magellanicus to Hordeum vulgare subsp. Spontaneum, Aegilops speltoides, Triticum aestivum, and T. aestivum cv. Chinese Yumai.
