Assembly and comparative analysis of four complete mitochondrial genomes of Pulsatilla species.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pulsatilla species, which belong to the Ranunculaceae family, have garnered significant attention due to their remarkable medicinal attributes and ornamental value. In the present study, four mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of Pulsatilla species were assembled and analyzed. The aim was to lay a research foundation for unraveling the genetic interrelationships among these species and the identification of Traditional Chinese Medicine from Pulsatilla species.

Results

The mitogenomes of P. chinensis, P. chinensis var. kissii, P. cernua, and P. dahurica were assembled into single circular DNA molecules, with lengths of 878,988 bp, 684,203 bp, 747,621 bp, and 824,625 bp, encoding 53, 40, 40, and 49 protein-coding genes, 13, 14, 20, and 33 transfer RNA genes, and 3,
