Abstract

Dendrocalamus hamiltonii is one of the best bamboo species with bamboo shoots, and has higher economic value. The chloroplast genome is a circular molecule of 139404 bp in length, consisting of a 82938 bp large single copy region (LSC), a 12876 bp small single copy region (SSC), and a pair of inverted repeats region (IRa and IRb: 21795 bp each). The GC content of chloroplast genome is 38.9%. The cp genome contains a total of 133 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 39 tRNA genes. Moreover, phylogenomic analysis showed that D. hamiltonii and D. brandisii clustered together in one branch.

Keywords: Dendrocalamus hamiltonii; chloroplast genome; phylogenomic.
