Phylogenetic analysis indicated a sister relationship between O. corymbosa and O. drummondii, suggesting a close genetic relationship between the two Oxalis species. This work provides basic genetic resources for investigating the evolutionary status and population genetics diversities for this medicinal species.Ramie (Boehmeria nivea L. Gaud) is a traditional fiber crop and important medicinal plant belonging to the family Urticaceae. In this study, we determine the complete chloroplast genome sequence of B. nivea. The assembled chloroplast genome is 156065 bp in length and shares the conserved quadripartite structure as other cp genomes in Boehmeria. The genome contains 131 genes, including 84 protein genes, 8 rRNA genes, 37 tRNA genes and 2 pseudo genes. There are 17 duplicated genes in the IR region. The overall GC content of B. nivea is 36.33%, with the highest GC content of 42.72% in IR region. A total of 67 simple sequence repeats are identified in the cp genome of B. nivea. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that B. nivea clustered together with B. tomentosa, further forming a monophyletic group with the species of Debregeasia and Pipturus. This work provides basic genetic resources for developing robust markers and investigating the population genetics diversities for B. nivea.Vernonia amygdalina Delile is widely used in folkloric medicine for the treatment of various diseases. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of V. amygdalina Delile was reported, which was assembled and annotated base on genome high-throughput sequencing data. This work provided the clues for the taxonomy of the herb and the potential to utilize the chloroplast genome sequence as a new study target. The length of V. amygdalina Delile chloroplast genome was 153,133bp, with two single-copy regions, each has the length of 84,245bp and 13,152bp respectively. This region were separated by two inverted repeat regions with 27,868bp in length. It was predicted to consist of 131 genes in total, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes with GC content at 37.68%. Phylogenetic analysis by RAxML (Random Axelerated Maximum Likelikhood) showed V. amygdalina Delile is closest to Sonchus webbii in Compositae.The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Trachemys scripta troostii was sequenced and was characterized, which comprised 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs) and a non-coding control region. Phylogenetic analysis based on the full mt genome indicated that T. s. troostii was more closely related to T. scripta from Canada than to T. s. elegans from China or T. s. scripta fom China. This is the first complete mt genome from T. s. troostii, which provides data for further study of phylogeny in Emydidae.The whole complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Actinidia kolomikta (formerly A. maloide) was sequenced and assembled from Illumina paired-end sequencing. The cp genome of A. arguta was 157,425 bp long, containing a large single copy region (LSC) of 88,498 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 20,475 bp and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IR) of 242,266 bp. It contained 113 different genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis using concatenated alignments of whole cp genome sequences revealed that A. kolomikta was the sister group to all other groups of Actinidia.Ficidae is a family of chiefly tropical marine gastropod mollusks with approximately 20 described species. Hitherto, there are no complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Ficidae available for the Ficoidea. Here, we determined the complete mitogenome of Ficus variegata Röding, 1798 representing the first species from the family Ficidae. The newly sequenced mitogenome consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. All of 13 PCGs use ATG as initiation codons and end with conventional stop codons TAA and TAG, and the genome organization is similar to those of other documented caenogastropod mitogenomes. Tonnoidea and Ficoidea were recovered as sister group in the Caenogastropoda tree.Okenia is a speciose genus of the family Goniodorididae with more than 50 valid species. The phylogenetic relationships within the genus are little known. The mitogenome is a good marker to understand the phylogenetic relationships of relative species. This study was performed to sequence the mitogenome of O. hiroi. The mitogenome of O. hiroi was 14,583 bp in size and was composed of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The nucleotide composition was 30.5% A, 13.6% C, 16.5% G, and 39.4% T. The phylogenetic analysis showed that O. hiroi is sister to Notodoris gardineri (Aegiridae). LY3295668 nmr This study recorded the first mitochondrial genome sequence of the family Goniodorididae.The mitochondrial genome of the Endangered freshwater snail Koreoleptoxis nodifila (Caenogastropoda Semisulcospiridae) from South Korea is determined and characterized in detail. It is 15,737 bp in length being composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and one control region. It has a base composition of 31.23% for A, 16.29% for G, 17.84% for C, and 34.64% for T. The phylogenetic trees reconstructed based on the maximum-likelihood (ML) method and Bayesian inference (BI) confirmed that K. nodifila belongs to the Semisulcospiridae clade in the monophyletic caeonogastropod superfamily Cerithioidea.This study describes the first sequencing of the complete mitochondrial genome of Schizothorax sinensis, a species of cyprinid snowtrout from the Jialing River and Fujiang River basins in China's Sichuan Province. The total length is 16,571 base pairs. Similar to most Schizothoracinae mitochondrial genomes, there are 37 genes including 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. In addition, it contains a control region rich in A-T nucleotides. The overall nucleotide composition is 29.6% for A, 27.1% for C, 17.9% for G and 25.4% for T, and the percentage of GC content is 45.0%. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that Schizothorax sinensis and Schizothorax prenanti clustered together in a clade. This work provides additional molecular information for studying Schizothorax sinensis conservation genetics and evolutionary relationships.
