Complete mitochondrial genome assembly and comparative analysis of Fagopyrum dibotrys (Golden Buckwheat).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are crucial plant organelles that harbor valuable genetic information. Fagopyrum dibotrys, commonly known as golden buckwheat, is an economically significant plant with diverse pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the mitochondrial genome (mt genome) for golden buckwheat has not yet been sequenced, limiting our understanding of its evolutionary characteristics. To address this, we employed a hybrid assembly strategy to assemble the first mt genome sequence of F. dibotrys.

Results

In this study, we sequenced and assembled a mt genome of F. dibotrys (370,284 bp), which exhibited a distinctive multi-branched conformation. The genome comprises 69 genes, including 34 prote
