The researchers studied the complete chloroplast genome of a plant called Digitaria sanguinalis. They found that the genome was 138,079 base pairs long and contained 129 genes, including ones for proteins, tRNAs, and rRNAs. The genome had a high AT content of 61.39%. By analyzing the genetic relationships, they discovered that D. sanguinalis is closely related to D. glauca and Thyridolepis xerophila. This research helps us better understand the genetic diversity of Digitaria plants.
