Insights into the multi-chromosomal mitochondrial genome structure of the xero-halophytic plant Haloxylon Ammodendron (C.A.Mey.) Bunge ex Fenzl.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Haloxylon ammodendron holds significance as an ecological plant, showcasing remarkable adaptability to desert conditions, halophytic environments, and sand fixation. With its potential for carbon sequestration, it emerges as a promising candidate for environmental sustainability. Furthermore, it serves as a valuable C4 plant model, offering insights into the genetic foundations of extreme drought tolerance. Despite the availability of plastid and nuclear genomes, the absence of a mitochondrial genome (mitogenome or mtDNA) hinders a comprehensive understanding of its its mtDNA structure, organization, and phylogenetic implications.

Results

In the present study, the mitochondrial genome of H. ammodendron was assembled and annotated, resulting in a multi-chromosomal
