Abstract

Chrysanthemum is an important ornamental, herbal, and medicinal plant. We report the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Chrysanthemum boreale. The mitogenome is 211,002 bp in length, has a GC content of 45.36%, and contains 58 genes, including 35 protein-coding genes, three ribosomal RNA genes, and 20 transfer RNA genes. A phylogenetic analysis based on mitogenome protein sequences from various plants confirmed that C. boreale belongs to the Asteraceae family. This mitogenome will be useful in evolutionary and phylogenetic studies of Chrysanthemum and Asteraceae.

Keywords: Asteraceae; Chrysanthemum; PacBio SMRT sequencing; mitochondrial genome; mitogenome.
