Complete mitochondrial genome of Agrostis stolonifera: insights into structure, Codon usage, repeats, and RNA editing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plants possess mitochondrial genomes that are large and complex compared to animals. Despite their size, plant mitochondrial genomes do not contain significantly more genes than their animal counterparts. Studies into the sequence and structure of plant mitochondrial genomes heavily imply that the main mechanism driving replication of plant mtDNA, and offer valuable insights into plant evolution, energy production, and environmental adaptation.

Results

This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of Agrostis stolonifera's mitochondrial genome, characterized by a branched structure comprising three contiguous chromosomes, totaling 560,800 bp with a GC content of 44.07%. Annotations reveal 33 unique protein-coding genes (PCGs), 19 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA gene
