Abstract
Poa pratensis L. (Poaceae) is a hardy, persistent, attractive forage and turf grass adapted to a wide range of soils and climate. In this study, we release and detail the complete chloroplast genome sequences of P . pratensis . The whole chloroplast genome was 135,649 bp in length and comprised 131 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes. The P . pratensis chloroplast genome had a GC content of 38.3%. The result of phylogenetic analysis showed that P . pratensis was closely related to P . pratensis cv. Qinghai and P . poophagorum . This study would provide useful genetic information for the protection of P . pratensis and other related species.
