Assembly and analysis of stephania japonica mitochondrial genome provides new insights into its identification and energy metabolism.

ABSTRACT: Stephania japonica, a popular indoor ornamental and medicinal plant widely found in southern China, contains many natural compounds with potential medicinal value. S. japonica is also favored by researchers for its ability to produce catharanthine. Energy metabolism functions in plant development, and the composition of mitochondrial genome is regarded as the foundation for understanding energy metabolism and getting insights into plant environmental adaptation. In present investigation, the whole mitochondrial genome of S. japonica was assembled from both second- and third-generation sequencing data. The mitochondrial genome size of S. japonica is 555,117 bp. It is depicted as a complex polycyclic structure. In addition, we conducted an in-depth study of the cytochrome c oxidase (cox) gen
