Determining Gene Order Patterns in the Suillus and Boletales through Comparative Analysis of Their Mitogenomes.

ABSTRACT: Suillus is one of the most important genera of ectomycorrhizal fungi. As a model for studying host specificity, its molecular fragments and nuclear genome have been analyzed. However, its mitochondrial genome has not yet been reported. In this study, we assembled five mitogenomes of Suillus and analyzed and compared their basic characteristics. Owing to the large number of introns as well as intergenic regions, the mitogenomic lengths of species of Suillus were greater than those of other species of Boletales. We identified two main patterns of gene order arrangement in the members of the order Boletales. The Ka/Ks values of 15 protein-coding genes were <1 for the mitochondrial genes of 39 Boletales species, indicating their conserved evolution. Phylogenetic trees, rec
