Mitogenomes comparison of 3 species of Asparagus L shedding light on their functions due to domestication and adaptative evolution.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Asparagus L., widely distributed in the old world is a genus under Asparagaceae, Asparagales. The species of the genus were mainly used as vegetables, traditional medicines as well as ornamental plants. However, the evolution and functions of mitochondrial (Mt) genomes (mitogenomes) remains largely unknown. In this study, the typical herbal medicine A. taliensis and ornamental plant A. setaceus were used to assemble and annotate the mitogenomes, and the resulting mitogenomes were further compared with published mitogenome of A. officinalis for the analysis of their functions in the context of domestication and adaptative evolution.

Results

The mitochondrial genomes of both A. taliensis and A. setaceus were assembled as complete circular ones. The phylogenetic tree
