Abstract
Thamnocalamus unispiculatus T.P.Yi & J.Y.Shi 2007 is an important bamboo species with significant ecological and economic value. This study presents the complete chloroplast genome sequence of T. unispiculatus. The sequence was 139,726 bp in length and exhibited a typical quadripartite structure, containing four regions: large single copy regions (LSC, 83,283 bp), small single copy regions (SSC, 12,851 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 21,726 bp). A total of 130 genes were annotated, including 86 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that T. unispiculatus and T. spathiflorus are sister species, supporting the conclusion that Thamnocalamus is a monophyletic group. The chloroplast genome of T. unispiculatus promotes the protection and exploration of biodiversity, phylogenetic relationships, and genetic research in Bambusoideae.
