Mitogenome of Uncaria rhynchophylla: genome structure, characterization, and phylogenetic relationships.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Uncaria rhynchophylla is listed in the Chinese pharmacopoeia as one of the five botanical sources of the traditional medicine Gou-Teng, which has been utilized for the treatment of mental and cardiovascular disorders. This particular species is well-known in China for its hook-like structures originating from the leaf axils. Despite available reports on its chloroplast genome, there persists a notable lack of understanding concerning the structural variations and evolution of its mitochondrial genome. This knowledge gap hinders our ability to fully comprehend its genetic attributes.

Results

We successfully assembled the mitochondrial genome of U. rhynchophylla by seamlessly integrating Illumina short reads with Nanopore long reads, resulting in a non-circular geno
