Abstract

Alopecurus japonicus is a weed in summer crop field, which is harmful to wheat crops. The complete plastome of A. japonicus was reported in this study. The genome was 136,408 bp in length, consisting of an 80,512 bp large single-copy region, a 12,836 bp small single-copy region, and two 21,530 bp inverted repeat regions. The GC content of this plastome was 38.3%. A total of 112 genes were annotated for the plastome of A. japonicus, containing 78 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis showed that A. japonicus was sister to Alopecurus aequalis.

Keywords: Alopecurus japonicus; phylogenomics; plastome.
