The complete chloroplast genome of Agave fourcroydes

Agave fourcroydes (henequen) is the only cultivated Agave species in the Yucatan Peninsula, which is mainly used for fiber production. In the present study, we have successfully assembled the chloroplast (cp) genome of A. fourcroydes. The full length of the cp genome is 157,291 bp with a GC content...

Descripción
Sumario:Agave fourcroydes (henequen) is the only cultivated Agave species in the Yucatan Peninsula, which is mainly used for fiber production. In the present study, we have successfully assembled the chloroplast (cp) genome of A. fourcroydes. The full length of the cp genome is 157,291 bp with a GC content at 37.8%. The cp genome is constructed with an inverted repeat region a (IRa) of 26,573 bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,230 bp, an inverted repeat region b (IRb) of 26,573 bp and a large single copy region (LSC) of 85,915 bp. The annotation result reveals 132 genes on the cp genome, including 86 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNAs and 8 rRNAs. Phylogenetic tree reveals that A. fourcroydes is closely related with A. sisalana.
