Comparative analysis of mitochondrial genomes of Broussonetia spp. (Moraceae) reveals heterogeneity in structure, synteny, intercellular gene transfer, and RNA editing.

ABSTRACT: The genus Broussonetia (Moraceae) is comprised of three non-hybrid recognized species that all produce high quality fiber essential in the development of papermaking and barkcloth-making technology. In addition, these species also have medicinal value in several countries. Despite their important economical, medicinal, and ecological values, the complete mitogenome of Broussonetia has not been reported and investigated, which would greatly facilitate molecular phylogenetics, species identification and understanding evolutionary processes. Here, we assembled the first-reported three complete Broussonetia (B. papyrifera, B. kaempferi, and B. monoica) mitochondrial genomes (mitogenome) based on a hybrid strategy using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Tech
