Assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitogenome of Rubus chingii var. suavissimus, an exceptional berry plant possessing sweet leaves.

ABSTRACT: Rubus chingii var. suavissimus is a special berry plant of Rubus in the Rosaceae family. Its leaves contain high-sweetness, low-calorie, and non-toxic sweet ingredients, known as rubusoside. As a medicine and food biofunctional plant, it is a combination of "tea, sugar, and medicine." In this study, the complete mitogenome of R. chingii var. suavissimus was successfully assembled and annotated based on PacBio HiFi sequencing technology. The mitogenome of R. chingii var. suavissimus was a typical master circle structure, spanning 432,483 bp and containing 34 unique protein-coding genes (PCGs), 20 tRNAs, and 3 rRNAs. The majority of these PCGs was subjected to purifying selection, and only one gene (ccmB) showed sign of positive selecti
