Genomic variation and evolutionary patterns in organelle genomes between annual and perennial Glycine species.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The complexity of structural variations and long stretches of repetitive DNA make the analysis of plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) exceptionally challenging. A thorough investigation of plant mitogenomes is essential for uncovering the evolutionary processes of plant organelles and optimizing traits related to plant cellular metabolism. The genus Glycine includes groups with both perennial and annual life strategies, making it an ideal subject for studying the complexity and variations of plant mitogenomes during evolution across different life strategies.

Results

Here, we assembled 20 complete mitochondrial and plastid genomes of Glycine accessions, including both annual and perennial species using the latest organelle genome assembly tool. Significant s
