The complete mitochondrial genome of Vaccinium oldhamii Miquel, a plant of the Ericaceae family.

ABSTRACT: Vaccinium oldhamii Miquel 1866 is a deciduous shrub native to Northeast Asia, including Korea, China, and Japan. Its polyphenol-rich edible berries may aid in managing chronic diseases. Despite its importance, the mitogenome of this species remains understudied. This study assembled the complete mitogenome, consisting of 626,941 bp with 45.34% GC content, using NOVOPlasty and Illumina sequencing. The genome includes 38 protein-coding genes, 24 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a close relationship with V. macrocarpon. This mitogenome provides a valuable resource for phylogenomic studies and insights into evolutionary relationships within the Vaccinium genus and the Ericales order. Vaccinium oldhamii Miquel 1866 is a deciduou
