Deskripsi
Stuckenia pectinata is widely distributed submerged macrophyte in the world. Herein, the complete chloroplast genome of this species was assembled and characterized using whole genome next-generation sequencing. The complete chloroplast genome showed a circular genome of 156,669 bp size with 36.5% GC content. The genome is of typical structure and contain a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions with 26,074 bp, separated by one large single-copy (LSC) with 86,285 bp, and one small single-copy (SSC) regions with 18,236 bp. De novo assembly and annotation showed the presence of 131 unique genes with 85 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. A maximum-likelihood phylogenomic tree reconstructed based on 15 chloroplast genomes reveals that S. pectinata is most closely related to Zostera marina.
