Structural characterization of the plastid genome and comparative mitochondrial genomics of Eupatorium lindleyanum (Asteraceae): evolutionary dynamics and phylogenetic insights.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Eupatorium lindleyanum is a widely utilized traditional medicinal plant with diverse pharmacological activities, extensive distribution, and abundant resources, making it a promising candidate for industrial and scientific research. However, limited genomic resources and unclear genetic relationships have hindered its development. To date, molecular studies on E. lindleyanum are scarce, and no detailed mitochondrial genome analyses have been reported for congeneric species.

Results

In this study, we present the first complete assembly and annotation of the mitochondrial and plastid genomes of E. lindleyanum, investigating their potential for phylogenetic reconstruction within Asteraceae. Using Illumina NovaSeq and Nanopore PromethION platforms, 13.4 Gb and 12 Gb o
