Abstract
Chinese sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is the most famous C4 plant and the most important cereal crops in the world. In this study, we obtained the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Chinese sorghum using BGISEQ-500 Sequencing Platform. Its chloroplast genome size has 141,266 bp, containing a large single copy region (83,406 bp), a small single copy region (13,712 bp), and a pair of IR regions (22,174 bp). The overall GC contents of the chloroplast genome were 38.5%. This circular genome contains 140 annotated genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 48 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs. Further, the phylogenetic analysis using maximum likelihood (ML) method showed that Chinese sorghum has the closest phylogenetic relationship with Sorghum arundinaceum. This complete chloroplast genomes can be subsequently used for the genetic breeding and brewing industry.
