The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Indian barnyard millet, Echinochloa frumentacea (Poaceae).

abstract

• We report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of the important nutritious millet crop Indian barnyard millet, Echinochloa frumentacea Link (Poaceae). The size of the circular chloroplast genome is 139593bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure, containing pair of inverted repeats of 22618bp, flanked by large single copy and small single copy regions of 81839bp, 12518bp, respectively. Overall GC content of the genome was 38.6% and consists of 112 individual genes, including 77 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, four rRNA genes and one conserved open reading frame. In addition, phylogenetic analysis with grass species has revealed that E. frumentacea is diverged around 1.9-2.7 million years with its close relatives, E. oryzicola and E. crus-galli.
