Assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of the spice plant Cinnamomum longepaniculatum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cinnamomum longepaniculatum(Gamble) N. Chao ex H. W. Li (C. longepaniculatum), a species renowned for its leaves and twigs yielding essential oils, is extensively utilized as a vital raw material in traditional Chinese medicine, spice, and daily chemical products, and thus possesses both high economic value and significant scientific research value. However, to date, no detailed information on the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has been reported.

Results

The mitogenome of C. longepaniculatum was characterized by a linear structure, spanning 870,686 bp with 46.94% GC content. It encompassed 44 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 28 tRNAs, and 3 rRNAs. Numerous repetitive sequences were observed, including 317 simple sequence repeats (SSRs), 52 tandem repeats and 874 pa
