De-novo assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitogenome of traditional Chinese medicine Strobilanthes sarcorrhiza.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Strobilanthes sarcorrhiza is a traditional medicinal plant known for its heat-clearing and kidney-nourishing properties. While its plastid genome has been reported, there is a scarcity of genetic information regarding its mitogenome, leading to unclear phylogenetic relationships. We sequenced and assembled the complete its mitogenome and conducted a series of genetic analyses in conjunction with the plastid genome to gain a better understanding of the species' genetic background.

Results

The mitogenome comprised a linear structure spanning 617,134 bp. It included 35 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 19 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and 3 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) that have been annotated. Additionally, 122 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and 25 tandem repeats were identified. A t
