Characterization of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Wintersweet (Chimonanthus praecox) and Comparative Analysis within Magnoliids.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial genome sequencing is a valuable tool for investigating mitogenome evolution, species phylogeny, and population genetics. Chimonanthus praecox (L.) Link, also known as "La Mei" in Chinese, is a famous ornamental and medical shrub belonging to the order Laurales of the Calycanthaceae family. Although the nuclear genomes and chloroplast genomes of certain Laurales representatives, such as Lindera glauca, Laurus nobilis, and Piper nigrum, have been sequenced, the mitochondrial genome of Laurales members remains unknown. Here, we reported the first complete mitogenome of C. praecox. The mitogenome was 972,347 bp in length and comprised 60 unique coding genes, including 40 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 17 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes. The skewn
