Abstract

The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of , a traditional medicinal plant within the genus, remains relatively understudied. This study aimed to sequence the mitogenome of , determining its assembly, informational content, and developmental expression. The results revealed that the mitogenome of is circular, spanning 752,501 bp with a GC content of 46.16%. It comprises 63 unique genes, including 39 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 23 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes. Moreover, the mitogenome was found to contain 63 SSRs, predominantly mono-nucleotides, as well as 25 tandem repeats and 650 pairs of dispersed repeats, each with lengths equal to or greater than 60, mainly comprising forward repeats and palindromic repeats. Moreover, 53 homologous fragments were identified between the mitogenome and chloroplast genome (cp-genome), with the longest segment measuring 4296 bp. This study represents the initial report on the mitogenome of the , providing crucial genetic materials for phylogenetic research within the genus and promoting the exploitation of species genetic resources.
