Abstract
Vicia costata Ledeb. is a fine leguminous pasture which has advantages of drought resistance and barren tolerance. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of V. costata was assembled and annotated. The total genome size of V. costata was 134,184 bp in length with IR loss. The cp genome encoded a set of 112 genes, containing 74 protein-coding genes, 34 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The overall GC content was 34.82%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that V. costata got together with the same genus species V. ramuliflora, V. bungei, V. faba, V. sativa and V. sepium with high support value, and V. costata had a close relationship with V. ramuliflora. The whole cp genome of V. costata will be a useful resource for future studies on phylogeny and conservation in Vicia.
