Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the rice bean (Vigna umbellata).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rice bean (Vigna umbellata), an underrated legume crop, demonstrates strong adaptability to poor soil fertility and has significant potential to enhance global food security. It is valuable both as a vegetable and fodder crop due to its high protein content, essential fatty acids, and micronutrients. Despite the sequencing of a high-quality genome of rice bean, its mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence has not yet been reported.

Results

For the first time, the rice bean mitogenome was assembled and annotated using PacBio HiFi sequencing and Geseq software. The mitogenome is a circular molecule with a length of 404,493 bp, containing 32 protein-coding genes, 17 tRNAs, and 3 rRNAs. Codon usage and sequence repeats were also determined.
