The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Citrus sinensis</i>

Abstract

<i>Citrus sinensis</i> is an important agricultural product with huge economic value. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence of <i>Citrus sinensis</i> for the first time. Our assembly of the <i>Citrus sinensis</i> mt genome resulted in a final sequence of 640,906 bp in length which contains 63 genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that <i>Citrus sinensis</i> was closely related to <i>Brassica napus</i> and <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>, which also belong to malvids. The complete mt genome will facilitate further genetic studies of <i>Citrus sinensis</i>.
