Sequencing and characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Thinopyrum obtusiflorum (DC.) Banfi, 2018 (Poaceae)

In this study, the mitochondrial genome of Thinopyrum obtusiflorum was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The complete circular mitogenome of Th. obtusiflorum is 390,725 bp in length and the overall A + T content of mitogenome is 55.61%. It harbors 33 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 21 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), six ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and 20 simple sequence repeats (SSRs). Phylogenetic analysis indicates that Th. obtusiflorum is a sister to the clade including Aegilops speltoides, Triticum aestivum, and Triticum aestivum cultivar Chinese Yumai in the Triticeae.
