Elymus magellanicus (É.Desv.) Á.Löve is a foliage accent plant that found in South America. In this study, the mitochondrial genome of E. magellanicus was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The complete circular mitogenome of E. magellanicus is 583,450 bp in length and the overall G + C content of mitogenome is 42.27%. It harbors 39 protein-coding genes, 64 transfer RNA genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 20 simple sequence repeats. Phylogenetic analysis indicates a relatively close relationship of E. magellanicus to Hordeum vulgare subsp. Spontaneum, Aegilops speltoides, Triticum aestivum, and T. aestivum cv. Chinese Yumai.

Elymus magellanicus (É.Desv.) Á.Löve is a foliage accent plant that originated in South America. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of E. magellanicus is reported. It was found to have a total size of 133,249 bp. The chloroplast genome was found to consist of two inverted repeats (IRA and IRB) of 21,421 bp each, a small single-copy region of 12,709 bp, and a large single-copy region (77,698 bp). The annotation results show the GC content of the chloroplast genome to be 38.47%, including 40 tRNA genes, 82 protein-coding genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of 29 species revealed that E. magellanicus is closely related to E. arenarius. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
