Complete mitochondrial genome of Agropyron cristatum reveals gene transfer and RNA editing events.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As an important forage in arid and semi-arid regions, Agropyron cristatum provides livestock with exceptionally high nutritional value. Additionally, A. cristatum exhibits outstanding genetic characteristics to endure drought and disease. Therefore, rich genetic diversity serves as a cornerstone for the improvement of major food crops. The purposes of this study were to systematically describe mitogenome of A.cristatum and preliminarily analyze its internal variations.

Result

The A. cristatum mitogenome was a single-ring molecular structure of 381,065 bp that comprised 52 genes, including 35 protein-coding, 3 rRNA and 14 tRNA genes. Among these, two pseudoprotein-coding genes and multiple copies of tRNA genes were observed. A total of 320 repetitive sequences was
