Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Corynespora cassiicola (Pleosporales: Dothideomycetes), with its phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: Corynespora cassiicola is a well-known plant pathogen with a broad host range and diverse lifestyles. In this study, we presented the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of C. cassiicola for the first time. It has a total length of 40,752 bp, which encodes 17 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and 27 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The nucleotide composition of the mitogenome is: A (36.24%), T (34.62%), G (15.74%), and C (13.39%). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that C. cassiicola has a close relationship with Didymella pinodes from Didymellaceae.
