Abstract

Chimonobambusa luzhiensis (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) is an endangered plant endemic to Guizhou Province, China. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of C. luzhiensis. The plastid genome revealed a typical quadripartite structure with a length of 139,896 bp, including a large single-copy (LSC, 83,191 bp) region, a small single-copy (SSC, 12,811 bp) region, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (IRa and IRb, 21,797 bp). A total of 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes (PCGs), eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes were annotated, and the overall GC content was 38.8%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the relationship between C. luzhiensis is sister to C. tumidisinoda.
