The complete mitochondrial genome of Castanopsis carlesii and Castanea henryi reveals the rearrangement and size differences of mitochondrial DNA molecules.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Castanopsis carlesii is a dominant tree species in subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests and holds significant ecological value. It serves as an excellent timber tree species and raw material for cultivating edible fungi. Henry Chinquapin (Castanea henryi) wood is known for its hardness and resistance to water and moisture, making it an exceptional timber species. Additionally, its fruit has a sweet and fruity taste, making it a valuable food source. However, the mitogenomes of these species have not been previously reported. To gain a better understanding of them, this study successfully assembled high-quality mitogenomes of C. carlesii and Ca. henryi for the first time.

Results

Our research reveals that the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of C. carlesii exhibits
