A Comparative Genomics Approach for Analysis of Complete Mitogenomes of Five Actinidiaceae Plants.

ABSTRACT: Actinidiaceae, an economically important plant family, includes the Actinidia, Clematoclethra and Saurauia genus. Kiwifruit, with remarkably high vitamin C content, is an endemic species widely distributed in China with high economic value. Although many Actinidiaceae chloroplast genomes have been reported, few complete mitogenomes of Actinidiaceae have been studied. Here, complete circular mitogenomes of the four kiwifruit species and Saurauia tristyla were assembled. Codon usage, sequence repeats, RNA editing, gene transfers, selective pressure, and phylogenetic relationships in the four kiwifruit species and S. tristyla were comparatively analyzed. This research will contribute to the study of phylogenetic relationships within Actiniaceae and mo
