Characterize the Complete Mitogenome of <i>Semiaquilegia guangxiensis</i> and Assess the Efficiency of the Mitochondrial Genes in Ranunculales Phylogeny.

ABSTRACT: Plant mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has crucial functions underpinning survive, development, and reproduction of organisms. However, the complete mitogenomes have been far less assembled and annotated than plastomes and even nuclear genomes in plants, due to their highly frequent and long repeat sequences and genomic structural variations. These further hinder the understanding of the mitogenome evolution and restrict potential applications in phylogenetic analyses. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the complete mitogenome of Semiaquilegia guangxiensis and explored its evolution and usefulness in phylogenetics. The results showed that the mitogenome was composed of two independent molecules, which had a total length of 522,981 bp, a GC content of 45.69%, and
