Abstract
• The first reported mitochondrial genome ( Cinnamomum chekiangense ) of the Lauraceae family. • The mitogenome of C. chekiangense retains almost all of the ancestral protein-coding genes and has the highest RNA editing number in angiosperms to date. • Both of the plastid and mitochondrial phylogenetic trees support the magnoliids as a sister group to the clade comprising monocots and eudicots.
