Abstract:

Chloroplasts are unique organelles in plant cells and the main sites of photosynthesis. The chloroplasts are semi-autonomous,possessing independent extranuclear genomes that can encode some of the genes associated with their own functions. The chloroplast genomes(cpDNA)contains a large number of functional genes,and their application values in the study of species identification and phyletic evolution have been widely accepted and gradually recognized by researchers. Gramineae is one of the most concentrated families in chloroplast genome researches. In this paper,we elaborated the studies on the characteristics of the chloroplast genome,the distribution of gene types,gene sequence analysis,RNA editing,and the application of chloroplast genomes in the phylogenetic development of major Gramineae crops,so as to lay a foundation for better analyzing the chloroplast genomes of Gramineae in terms of species evolution,genetics,and phylogenetic relationships.

Key words: gramineae crops, chloroplast genome, phylogenetics, RNA editing
