Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the mitogenomes of two important tree species, Castanopsis carlesii and Castanea henryi, for the first time, highlighting their ecological and economic significance.
- The research found that C. carlesii's mtDNA has a unique multi-branched structure, while Ca. henryi's mtDNA consists of independent molecules, with the significant variation in their sizes attributed to dispersed repeats.
- The findings contribute to a better understanding of mitochondrial genome evolution in the Fagaceae family, paving the way for further exploration of key traits such as cell respiration and disease resistance.
