Evolutionary Insights Into Two Widespread Ectomycorrhizal Fungi (Pisolithus) From Comparative Analysis of Mitochondrial Genomes.

ABSTRACT: The genus Pisolithus is a group of global ectomycorrhizal fungi. The characterizations of Pisolithus mitochondrial genomes have still been unknown. In the present study, the complete mitogenomes of two Pisolithus species, Pisolithus microcarpus, and Pisolithus tinctorius, were assembled and compared with other Boletales mitogenomes. Both Pisolithus mitogenomes comprised circular DNA molecules with sizes of 43,990 and 44,054 bp, respectively. Comparative mitogenomic analysis showed that the rps3 gene differentiated greatly between Boletales species, and this gene may be subjected to strong pressure of positive selection between some Boletales species. Several plasmid-derived genes and genes with unknown functions were detected in the two P
