The complete plastid genome of the wild rice species Oryza brachyantha (Poaceae)

Abstract

The whole plastid genome of wild rice (Oryza brachyantha) is characterized in this study. The genome is 134 604 bp in length and is arranged in a typical circular structure, including a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 20 832 bp in size separated by a large single-copy region (LSC) of 80 411 bp in length and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 12 529 bp in length. The overall GC content of the genome is 38.98%. One hundred and ten unique genes were annotated from the chloroplast genome, including 76 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes and 30 tRNA genes. A total of 20 of these genes are duplicated in the IR regions, 13 genes contain 1 intron and 2 genes (rps12 and ycf3) have 2 introns.
