Abstract

Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) is one of the dominant legume forages distributed in Northern China. In our study, we assembled and annotated the structure of the complete chloroplast genome of sainfoin. The length of the circular genome is 122,102 bp. It contains 115 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes (68.7%), 31 tRNA genes (26.96%) and 5 rRNA genes (4.35%). The GC content of the total chloroplast genome of sainfoin is 34.58%. We construct the phylogenetic relationships between the chloroplast genome of sainfoin and the other 16 species by the Maximum likelihood (ML), and found sainfoin is most closely related to Hedysarum petrovii and Hedysarum taipeicum.
