Abstract
Leersia perrieri (A. Camus) Launert is most closely related to the genus Oryza in the rice tribe Oryzeae, Poaceae. In this study, we first report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of L. perrieri. The circular genome is 136,196 bp in size, and comprises a pair of inverted repeat regions of 21,321 bp each, a large single-copy region of 81,587 bp and a small single-copy region of 11,968 bp. It harbors 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. Maximum likelihood phylogenomic analysis shows that L. perrier and L. tisserantii are grouped into a single phylogenetic cluster and forms the most close outgroup of the genus Oryza.
