The complete mitochondrial genome of Amorphophallus albus and development of molecular markers for five Amorphophallus species based on mitochondrial DNA.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Amorphophallus albus is an herbaceous, cormous, perennial plant used as a food source and traditional medicine in Asia.

Methods

In this study, we assembled and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of A. albus. Then we analyzed the repeated elements and mitochondrial plastid sequences (MTPTs), predicted RNA editing sites in mitochondrial protein-coding genes (PCGs). Lastly, we inferred the phylogenetic relationships of A. albus and other angiosperms based on mitochondrial PCGs, and designed two molecular markers based on mitochondrial DNA.

Results and discussion

The complete mitogenome of A. albus consists of 19 circular chromosomes. And the total length of A. albus mitogenome is 537,044 bp, with the l
