Highbush blueberry is a small berry fruit tree belonging to the family Ericaceae and genus , which fruit has high nutritional value. High-throughput sequencing technology was applied in this study to sequence and assemble the whole chloroplast genome of the southern highbush blueberry variety sharpblue. The results of the study showed that the circular genome of sharpblue is 170,737 bp in length, and the GC content of the genome was 36.8%. The complete chloroplast genome of sharpblue has consisted of two inverted repeat regions (IRs), a large single-copy region (LSC, 31, 076 bp), and a small single-copy region (SSC, 3, 044 bp). The chloroplast genome contained a total of 144 functional genes, including 100 mRNA genes, eight rRNA genes, and 36 tRNA genes. In addition, and were clustered into one group in this phylogenetic analysis which indicated that they have a close evolutionary relationship. The findings of this investigation are a significant reference source for the phylogeny and evolutionary origin of the Ericaceae family.

Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are noncoding RNAs involved in protein biosynthesis and have noncanonical roles in cellular metabolism, such as RNA silencing and the generation of transposable elements. Extensive tRNA gene duplications, modifications to mature tRNAs, and complex secondary and tertiary structures impede tRNA sequencing. As such, a comparative genomic analysis of complete tRNA sets is an alternative to understanding the evolutionary processes that gave rise to the extant tRNA sets.

Background: Glycyrrhiza glabra, which is widely used in medicine and therapy, is known as the 'king of traditional Chinese medicine'. In this study, we successfully assembled and annotated the mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes of G. glabra via high-throughput sequencing technology, combining the advantages of short-read (Illumina) and long-read (Oxford Nanopore) sequencing.

Background: Stemona tuberosa, a vital species in traditional Chinese medicine, has been extensively cultivated and utilized within its natural distribution over the past decades. While the chloroplast genome of S. tuberosa has been characterized, its mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) remains unexplored.

, native to North America, is an invasive species in many areas of the world, where it causes serious damage to natural ecosystems and economic losses. However, a dearth of genetic resources and molecular markers has hampered our understanding of its invasion history. Here, we assembled 40 complete chloroplast genomes of species, including 21 individuals, 15 individuals, and four individuals, the sizes of which ranged from 152,412 bp to 153,170 bp.

Background: Tea-oil Camellia within the genus Camellia is renowned for its premium Camellia oil, often described as "Oriental olive oil". So far, only one partial mitochondrial genomes of Tea-oil Camellia have been published (no main Tea-oil Camellia cultivars), and comparative mitochondrial genomic studies of Camellia remain limited.
Results: In this study, we first reconstructed the entire mitochondrial genome of C.
