| Summary: | Spartina alterniflora (also named as Sporobolus alterniflorus) grows in coastal salt marshes area, which has important economic value in coastal natural wetlands. In the process of this research, the whole chloroplast genome sequence of Spartina alterniflora was recovered by Illumina sequencing. The complete genome was 135,560 bp in length with 38.45% GC content which was a circular genome containing a large single-copy region (LSC, 80,828 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 12,714 bp) and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 42,018 bp). Totally, it encodes 130 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Spartina alterniflora was closely related to Sporobolus maritimus.
