Codon usage characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome in Hemerocallis citrina.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hemerocallis citrina Baroni is a traditional vegetable crop widely cultivated in eastern Asia for its high edible, medicinal, and ornamental value. The phenomenon of codon usage bias (CUB) is prevalent in various genomes and provides excellent clues for gaining insight into organism evolution and phylogeny. Comprehensive analysis of the CUB of mitochondrial (mt) genes can provide rich genetic information for improving the expression efficiency of exogenous genes and optimizing molecular-assisted breeding programmes in H. citrina.

Results

Here, the CUB patterns in the mt genome of H. citrina were systematically analyzed, and the possible factors shaping CUB were further evaluated. Composition analysis of codons revealed that the overall GC (GCall) and GC at the thi
