Assembly and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Carya illinoinensis to provide insights into the conserved sequences of tRNA genes.

ABSTRACT: Carya illinoinensis is an economically important nut tree, and its chloroplast (cp.) genome has been reported; however, its mitochondrial (mt) genome remains unknown. In the present study, we assembled the first mt genome of C. illinoinensis. The circular mt genome of C. illinoinensis is 495,205 bp long, with 37 protein-coding genes(PCGs), 24 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. All the tRNAs could be folded into typical cloverleaf secondary structures, with lengths of 58-88 bp. A conserved U-U-C-x-A-x2 consensus nucleotide sequence was discovered in the Ψ-loops of tRNA sequences. In addition, 447 dispersed repeats were detected, as well as found 482 RNA editing sites and 9,960 codons in the mt genome. Furthermore, a total of 27 DNA sequences with a length of 43,277 bp were transferred from the c
