Project description:Chimonobambusa hejiangensis is of the unique edible bamboo specie of high quality in China. We studied the complete chloroplast(cp) genome of C. purpurea in this study. The cp genome of C. hejiangensis (GenBank accession: MW186792) was 138,911 bp in length, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,498 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,743 bp and a pair of inverted repeated (IR) regions of 21,835 bp. The genome contained 133 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Based on 39 cp genomes, we used the phylogenetic analysis to build phylogenetic tree, indicating that C. hejiangensis is closely related to C. tumidissinoda. Also, the phylogenetic relationship of lineages might be (Hsuehochloa + (((Shibataea clade + Arundinaria clade) + Indocalamus wilsonii) + ((Bergbambos + Indocalamus) + (((African alpine bamboos + Gaoligongshania) + (Chimonocalamus + Kuruna))+(Thamnocalamus + Phyllostachys clade))))). It could be devoted to phylogenetic analysis of Arundinarieae.
