Abstract

The complete Gracilaria bailiniae plastid genome was determined and analyzed in this work. It had a circular mapping molecular with the length of 185,129 bp and contained 231 genes including 193 protein-coding, 3 rRNA, 1 tmRNA, 29 tRNA genes, and 5 unidentified open reading frames. Phylogenetic analysis showed that G. bailiniae clustered together with Gracilaria chorda and Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis. The complete plastid genome provided in this work would be useful for elucidation of Gracilaria evolution.

Keywords: Gracilaria bailiniae; phylogenetic analysis; plastid genome.
