Abstract
The chloroplast DNA regions trnT-trnL was used to analyze to phylogenetic relationships and maternal donor of Kengyilia species and their closely related species. The Neighbor-Joining phylogenetic reconstructions partitioned the species into two reciprocally monophyletic groups. Kengyilia melanthera was related to species of Agropyron, whereas the other species were related to species of Pseudoroegneria and Roegneria. These results indicate that there have been at least two phylogenetically divergent maternal donors within Kengyilia, i.e. Agropyron (P genome) and Pseudoroegneria (St genome). In addition, the St genome of Kengyilia had several origins and diverse species of Pseudoroegneria might have taken part in the formation of polyploid species of Kengyilia.
