Sequencing and annotation of the chloroplast genome of Amblyopyrum muticum (Poaceae)

The complete chloroplast genomes of two Amblyopyrum muticum (syn. Aegilops mutica) accessions, k-3979 and k-3981, were sequenced, measuring 136911 and 136907 bp, respectively. Alignment and analysis of the nucleotide sequences of chloroplast genomes from different representatives of the Triticeae tribe showed similarities between the plastomes of A. muticum and Aegilops umbellulata from the section Aegilops, reaching 99.74 %. A phylogenetic tree constructed based on the alignment of complete chloroplast genomes showed that A. muticum is phylogenetically distinct from species of the section Sitopsis but not from all representatives of the genus Aegilops.
