Complete Mitogenome Assembly and Comparative Analysis of Vaccinium bracteatum (Ericaceae), a Rich Source of Health-Promoting Molecules.

ABSTRACT: Vaccinium bracteatum is a valuable plant used both as food and medicine in China, but low production limits the development of its industry. As such, it is important to develop genetic resources for the high-value species for preservation of wild populations and utilization. The complete chloroplast and nuclear genomes have already been available; however, its mitogenome has not yet been characterized. Here, the V. bracteatum mitogenome was assembled using HiFi reads, and a comparative analysis was conducted. The mitogenome was a circular sequence of 708,384 bp with a GC content of 45.28%, in which 67 genes were annotated, including 36 protein-coding genes, 26 tRNA genes, 3 rRNA genes, and 2 pseudogenes. Overall, 370 dispersed repeats, 161 simple repeats, and 42 tandem repeat
