Complete mitochondrial genome of Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua reveals variation diversity and evolutionary trends.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua, a valuable medicinal and edible plant in China, has been increasingly cultivated to produce nutritional and health products to meet market demand. However, the absence of the mitochondrial genome hinders the research of evolutionary analysis, artificial cultivation, and medicinal resource development. This study aimed to systematically characterize the mitochondrial genome of P. cyrtonema and perform a preliminary bioinformatic analysis.

Result

In this study, the mitochondrial genome of P. cyrtonema was assembled and annotated by combining Illumina reads with long-read Oxford Nanopore Technologies, which formed a complex non-circular structure covering 664,991 bp in length, with 33 protein-coding genes, 20 tRNAs, and 3 rRNAs. Overall, a
