Comparative and phylogenetic analyses using mitogenomes revealed gene re-arrangement of ().

, the largest family in the order, is an ecologically and economically important group and the phylogenetic studies of this group need to be further developed. The mitogenome is an effective molecular marker for analysing phylogenetic relationships; however, mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has been studied to a lesser extent. Thus, a comparative analysis of the mitogenomic features of seven species, representing seven distinct genera, was conducted. Phylogenetic relationships amongst these species within were reconstructed, based on the mitogenomic data. Highly consistent phylogenetic results within 34 species and two outgroups from , based on mitogenomic datasets, were obtained using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference methods. Results of phylogenetic analyses revealed that , and were polyphyletic. Interestingly, species of with different bruising discolouration patterns were found in separate clades, suggesting this trait may reflect underlying genetic divergence. Furthermore, comparative and phylogenetic analyses revealed gene re-arrangements in mitogenomes of . This study is the first to report on complete mitogenomes of four genera (, , and ) and will help better understand the phylogenetic relationships of . Furthermore, addition of more new taxa is necessary to reconstruct a high-resolution tree.
