Mitochondrial Genome Ofsalix Cardiophyllaand Its Implications For Infrageneric Division Of The Genus Ofsalix

Salix cardiophyllawas a member of the genus ofSalixin family Salicaceae with unique morphological traits, and once recognized as a separate genus,ToisusuKimura. Here, we sequenced and assembled the complete mitochondrial genome ofS. cardiophylla, which was 735,173 bp in length, including 56 genes, 28 protein-coding genes, 3 rRNA genes, 25 tRNA genes, and one large inverted repeat regions with length of 13,603 bp. Phylogenetic analysis based on 26 mitochondrial CDS confirmed thatS. cardiophyllais a member ofSalix, and support its merge intoSalixin aspect of our new insights on mitogenome phylogenomics.
