Complete mitochondrial genome of Persicaria maackiana reveals genome features, phylogenetic relationships, and nucleotide substitution rates.

ABSTRACT: Persicaria maackiana, belonging to the Polygonaceae family, is widely distributed throughout Northeast Asia (the Russian Far East, China, Japan, and the Korean Peninsula). Despite extensive research conducted on the plastid genomes (plastomes) of various plant species, limited studies have focused on mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes). In particular, few mitogenome research and few comparative studies of the Polygonaceae family are reported. In this study, we aimed to comparatively analyze the mitogenome characteristics of P. maackiana and other previously reported Polygonaceae mitogenomes, focusing on phylogenetic analysis and nucleotide substitution rate analysis. The mitogenome of P. maackiana was assembled using the Illumina and PacBio sequencing platforms, revealing a length of 401,6
