Abstract

Elymus magellanicus (É.Desv.) Á.Löve is a foliage accent plant that originated in South America. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of E. magellanicus is reported. It was found to have a total size of 133,249 bp. The chloroplast genome was found to consist of two inverted repeats (IRA and IRB) of 21,421 bp each, a small single-copy region of 12,709 bp, and a large single-copy region (77,698 bp). The annotation results show the GC content of the chloroplast genome to be 38.47%, including 40 tRNA genes, 82 protein-coding genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of 29 species revealed that E. magellanicus is closely related to E. arenarius.
