Sequencing of mitochondrial genome of Neolamarckia macrophylla uncovers divergent structure in genus Neolamarckia.

ABSTRACT: Neolamarckia macrophylla is one of two species in genus Neolamarckia of the Rubiaceae family and distributed only in Indonesia. The two species possess several common properties, including fast-growing, superiority of stem form for wood industry and potential medicinal value. However, compared with N. cadamba that has been extensively explored for industrial and pharmacological applications, little is known about N. macrophylla. Here we sequenced the mitochondrial genome of N. macrophylla, which was 289,793 bp in length and assembled into a single circular structure. The genome contained 36 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 19 tRNA and 3 rRNA genes, and was characterized by a high AT content (55.03%), low coding-site per site (13.39%), typical C-to-U RNA editing, and codon usage bias.
