Genome Characterization, Comparison and Phylogenetic Analysis of Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Evolvulus alsinoides Reveals Highly Rearranged Gene Order in Solanales.

ABSTRACT: Mitogenome sequencing provides an understanding of the evolutionary mechanism of mitogenome formation, mechanisms driving plant gene order, genome structure, and migration sequences. Data on the mitochondrial genome for family Convolvulaceae members is lacking. E. alsinoides, also known as shankhpushpi, is an important medicinal plant under the family Convolvulaceae, widely used in the Ayurvedic system of medicine. We identified the mitogenome of E. alsinoides using the Illumina mate-pair sequencing platform, and annotated using bioinformatics approaches in the present study. The mitogenome of E. alsinoides was 344184 bp in length and comprised 46 unique coding genes, including 31 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 12 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. The secondary structure of
