Assembly and Comparative Analysis of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of (Asteraceae).

is a perennial herb used in traditional Chinese medicine and is effective against rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of (GenBank accession number: ON584565.1). The circular mt genome of was 335,372 bp in length, containing 62 genes, including 33 mRNAs, 22 tRNAs, 6 rRNAs, and 1 pseudogene, along with 1626 open reading frames. The GC content was 45.14%. Predictive analysis revealed substantial RNA editing, with being the most abundantly edited gene, showing 36 sites. Gene migration between the mt and chloroplast (cp) genomes of was observed through the detection of homologous gene fragments. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that was clustered with (Asteraceae). Our findings provide extensive information regarding the mt genome of and help lay the foundation for future studies on its genetic variations, phylogeny, and breeding via the analysis of the mt genome.
