Abstract
Agropyron pectinatum is a perennial forage widely cultivated in China, and it belongs to the Gramineous family. In this study, we assembled the complete chloroplast genome of A. pectinatum. The whole chloroplast genome of A. pectinatum is 135,041 bp in length, comprising a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (20,821 bp) that are separated by a large single copy (LSC) region (80,632 bp) and a small single copy (SSC) region (12,767 bp). The chloroplast genome of A. pectinatum contains 133 genes, and 87 of them are protein-coding genes, 38 are tRNA, and eight are rRNA genes. The chloroplast genome of A. pectinatum could provide valuable information for varieties identification and evolution of the Agropyron Gaertn.
