摘要： Leymus is a perennial genus that belongs to the tribe Triticeae (Poaceae) which has an adaptive capacity to ecological conditions and strong resistance to cold, drought, and salinity. Most Leymus species are fine herbs that can be used for agriculture, conservation, and landscaping. Due to confusion taxonomy within genera, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of 13 Leymus species was sequenced, assembled, and compared with those of three other previously published Leymus species (Leymus condensatus, Leymus angustus, and Leymus mollis) to clarify the issue. Overall, the whole cp genome size ranged between 135,057 (L. condensatus) and 136,906 bp (Leymus coreanus) and showed a typical quadripartite structure. All studied species had 129 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNAs, and 8 ribosomal RNAs. In total, 800 tandem repeats and 707 SSR loci were detected, most of which were distributed in the large single-copy region, followed by the inverted repeat (IR) and small single-copy regions. The sequence identity of all sequences was highly similar, especially concerning the protein-coding and IR regions; in particular, the protein-coding regions were significantly similar to those in the IR regions, regardless of small sequence differences in the whole cp genome. Moreover, the coding regions were more conserved than the non-coding regions. Comparisons of the IR boundaries showed that IR contraction and expansion events were reflected in different locations of rpl22, rps19, ndhH, and psbA genes. The close phylogenetic relationship of Leymus and Psathyrostachys indicated that Psathyrostachys possibly is the donor of the Ns genome sequence identified in Leymus. Altogether, the complete cp genome sequence of Leymus will lay a solid foundation for future population genetics and phylogeography studies, as well as for the analysis of the evolution of economically valuable plants.
