The complete mitochondrial genome assembly of Capsicum pubescens reveals key evolutionary characteristics of mitochondrial genes of two Capsicum subspecies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pepper (Capsicum pubescens), one of five domesticated pepper species, has unique characteristics, such as numerous hairs on the epidermis of its leaves and stems, black seeds, and vibrant purple flowers. To date, no studies have reported on the complete assembly of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of C. pubescens. Understanding the mitogenome is crucial for further research on C. pubescens.

Results

In our study, we successfully assembled the first mitogenome of C. pubescens, which was assigned the GenBank accession number OP957066. This mitogenome has a length of 454,165 bp and exhibits the typical circular structure observed in most mitogenomes. We annotated a total of 70 genes, including 35 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 tRNA genes, 3 rRNA genes, and 2 pse
