Comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial genomes of Neocinnamomum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neocinnamomum plants are considered a promising feedstock for biodiesel in China, due to the richness in long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) found in their seeds. However, the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of this genus has not yet been systematically described, and the exploration of species relationships within this genus using mitogenome sequences is also an uncharted territory. This has hindered our understanding of mitogenome diversity and the evolutionary relationships within Neocinnamomum.

Results

In this study, a total of 24 individuals representing seven distinct taxa from the genus Neocinnamomum were subjected to Illumina sequencing, and the species N. delavayi was sequenced using Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology. We successfully assembled the mitoge
