Mitochondrial genome of Lonicera macranthoides: features, RNA editing, and insights into male sterility.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Mitochondria are essential organelles that provide energy for plants. They are semi-autonomous, maternally inherited, and closely linked to cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in plants. Lonicera macranthoides, a widely used medicinal plant from the Caprifoliaceae family, is rich in chlorogenic acid (CGA) and its analogues, which are known for their antiviral and anticancer properties. However, studies on the mitogenome of L. macranthoides still remain limited.

Methods

The mitochondrial DNA contained in the whole genome DNA was extracted from a male sterile cultivar of L. macranthoides, named 'Yulei 1'. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and third-generation sequencing (TGS) technologies were combined to obtain the mitogenome. RNA editing events
