Comparative analyses of the organelle genomes in Jacaratia spinosa (Caricaceae).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Jacaratia spinosa (Aubl.) A. DC. (J. spinosa) is an important member of the Caricaceae family, valued for its edible properties and potential for protease development. However, organelle genome resources for this species have not been publicly available.

Methods

To fill this gap, we applied a hybrid sequencing approach combining Illumina short reads and Nanopore long reads, and assembled the complete mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes of J. spinosa using established assembly pipelines, followed by comprehensive annotation and genomic feature analysis.

Results

The circular mitochondrial genome spans 461,675 bp, and encodes 40 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 26 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. The complete chloroplast genome is 160,000 bp
