Abstract
Hordeum distichon (H. distichon) is a two-row cultivated barley used as food and as a feed crop. Chloroplast genome is an excellent way to study the genetic structure and evolutionary process of natural population of plant species in recent years. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of H. distichon was sequenced and analyzed: the size of the chloroplast genome is 136,462 bp in length, including a large single copy region (LSC) of 80,597 bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 12,701 bp, and a pair of inverted repeated regions (IR) of 21,582 bp; the H. distichon chloroplast genome encodes 129 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes; the overall GC-content of the chloroplast genome was 38.32%, with the LSC, SSC, and IR regions being 36.31%, 32.33%, and 43.83%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 32 species with the maximum likelihood (ML) method indicated that H. distichon was closely related to Hordeum vulgare.
