Large inverted repeats identified by intra-specific comparison of mitochondrial genomes provide insights into the evolution of Agrocybe aegerita.

ABSTRACT: Genomic structure and content of Agrocybe aegerita mitochondrial DNA contain essential information regarding the evolution of this gourmet mushroom. In this study, eight isolates of A. aegerita were sequenced and assembled into complete mitochondrial genomes. The mtDNA of the isolate Ag0067 contained two genotypes, both of which were quadripartite architecture consisting of two identical inverted repeats, separated by a small single-copy region and a large single-copy region. The only difference was opposite directions of the small single-copy region. The mtDNAs ranged from 116,329 bp to 134,035 bp, harboring two large identical inverted repeats. Genes of plasmid-origin were present in regions flanked by inverted repeat ID2. Most of the core genes evolved at a relatively low
