The complete mitochondrial genome of the carnivorous flowering plant .

Carnivorous plants have the ability to capture and digest small animals as a source of additional nutrients, which allows them to grow in nutrient-poor habitats. This study reports the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a pitcher plant . It was 520,764 bp in size with a GC content of 44.17% and contained 37 protein-coding genes, 2 pseudogenes, 18 tRNA genes and 3 rRNA genes. Four tRNA genes and the gene were probably transferred to mitochondrion form the chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that belongs to the order .
