Comparative analysis of the mitogenomes of multiple species of Fagaceae, with special focus on Quercus gilva.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Quercus, as the most abundant and widely distributed genus within the family Fagaceae, has been extensively studied at nuclear genome and plastome. However, mitogenome studies in Quercus remain scarce. In this study, we assemble and annotate the mitogenome of Quercus gilva based on Illumina and Nanopore data. Additionally, we explore the structural features of its mitogenome and provide comprehensive analyses of the phylogeny and evolution of Fagaceae.

Results

The Q. gilva mitogenome consists of four molecules (three circular molecules and one linear molecule) with 490,015 bp in total length and 45.68% in guanine-cytosine (GC) content. The mitogenome encodes 59 genes, including 37 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 19 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and three ribosomal RNA
