belongs to the genus and is part of the basal lineage in the phylogenetic tree of the Orchidaceae. Currently, there are only ten reported complete mitochondrial genomes in orchids, which greatly hinders the understanding of mitochondrial evolution in Orchidaceae. Therefore, we assembled and annotated the mitochondrial genome of , which has a length of 573,612 bp and a GC content of 44.

- - The study focuses on the mitogenome of a primitive orchid group (Apostasioideae) that is important for understanding the phylogenetic relationships among monocots, as this area is largely unexplored.
- - Researchers sequenced the complete mitogenome, which is 672,872 base pairs long, featuring 36 protein-coding genes, 16 tRNAs, and two rRNAs, along with evidence of extensive genetic diversity and repeat sequences.
- - Phylogenetic analysis among this mitogenome and 28 other monocots suggests a solid classification and evolutionary framework for monocots, enhancing our understanding of orchid genetic resources and their molecular evolution.
Article Synopsis
- Orchidaceae is a large and diverse family of plants known as orchids, notable for their unique features, ecological roles, and economic significance, making them important for biodiversity conservation.
- Recent advances in sequencing and genetic engineering technologies have revolutionized orchid research, allowing for deep exploration of their genomes and linking important traits to specific genes.
- This review highlights the progress in orchid research, focusing on molecular tools and their applications in breeding, while discussing the future potential of post-genomic research in the industry.
Containing the largest number of species, the orchid family provides not only materials for studying plant evolution and environmental adaptation, but economically and culturally important ornamental plants for human society. Previously, we collected genome and transcriptome information of Dendrobium catenatum, Phalaenopsis equestris, and Apostasia shenzhenica which belong to two different subfamilies of Orchidaceae, and developed user-friendly tools to explore the orchid genetic sequences in the OrchidBase 4.0.
