The complete mitochondrial genome of a mangrove plant: <i>Aegiceras corniculatum</i> and its phylogenetic implications
Jingwen Zhang, Shijie Zhang, Ying Zhang
Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of mangrove plant: Aegiceras corniculatum was analyzed in this paper, which is the first for the genus within the family Myrsinaceae. The mitogenome sequence is 425,282 bp in length containing six ribosomal RNA genes, 25 transfer RNA genes, and 39 protein-coding genes. Gene ccmFc, rps3 and rps10 contain one intron, cox2, nad4, nad5 and nad7 contain two introns. Gene nad1 and nad2 are trans-splicing genes. Phylogenetic analysis using the maximum likelihood method revealed that A. corniculatum clustered with Camellia sinensis.
