biostudies-literatureUnknown24(1)Zhu LFlowering plant (angiosperm) mitochondrial genomes are remarkably dynamic in their structures. We present the complete mitochondrial genome of hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge), a shrub that bears fruit and is celebrated for its extensive medicinal history. We successfully assembled the hawthorn mitogenome utilizing the PacBio long-read sequencing technique, which yielded 799,862 reads, and the Illumina novaseq6000 sequencing platform, which producing 6.6 million raw paired reads. The C. pinnatifida mitochondria sequences encompassed a total length of 440,295 bp with a GC content of 45.42%. The genome annotates 54 genes, including 34 that encode proteins, 17 that encode tRNA, and three genes for rRNA. A fascinating interplay was observed between the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomBMC plant biology929https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11457364biostudies-literatureDeciphering the multi- partite mitochondrial genome of Crataegus pinnatifida: insights into the evolution and genetics of cultivated Hawthorn.PMC11457364Guo JLi TZhu LDiao SfalseDeciphering the multi- partite mitochondrial genome of Crataegus pinnatifida: insights into the evolution and genetics of cultivated Hawthorn.Flowering plant (angiosperm) mitochondrial genomes are remarkably dynamic in their structures.
