Complete Mitochondrial Genome Assembly of an Upland Wild Rice Species, Oryza granulata and Comparative Mitochondrial Genomic Analyses of the Genus Oryza.

ABSTRACT: Wild upland rice species, including Oryza granulata, possess unique characteristics that distinguish them from other Oryza species. For instance, O. granulata characteristically has a GG genome and is accordingly classified as a basal lineage of the genus Oryza. Here, we deployed a versatile hybrid approach by integrating Illumina and PacBio sequencing data to generate a high-quality mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) assembly for O. granulata. The mitogenome of O. granulata was 509,311 base pairs (bp) with sixty-seven genes comprising two circular chromosomes, five ribosomal RNA (rRNA) coding genes, twenty-five transfer RNA (tRNA) coding genes, and thirty-seven genes coding for proteins. We identified a total of 378 simple sequence repeats (SSRs).
