The complete chloroplast genome of an Antarctic moss Syntrichia filaris (Müll.Hal.) R.H. Zander

Syntrichia filaris is one of the common mosses in the northern maritime Antarctic. In this study, we determined the complete chloroplast genome of S. filaris (GenBank accession number MK852705) to provide a genetic resource for phylogenetic study on Bryophytes. It is of 136,227 bp length, containing...

Description
Summary:Syntrichia filaris is one of the common mosses in the northern maritime Antarctic. In this study, we determined the complete chloroplast genome of S. filaris (GenBank accession number MK852705) to provide a genetic resource for phylogenetic study on Bryophytes. It is of 136,227 bp length, containing 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA), 37 transfer RNA, and 85 protein-coding genes. The chloroplast genome structure and gene order were similar to other bryophytes. Phylogenetic tree based on combined amino acids sequences of 72 chloroplast genes common in S. filaris, 7 Bryophyta, 1 Anthocerotophyta, and 2 Marchantiophyta, was congruent with the traditional position of Pottiales in Bryophytes.
