Summary: The study sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of two species of mites, revealing that they share the same gene arrangement pattern with highly truncated tRNAs. The largest non-coding region in both species can be divided into two domains based on AT content and stem-loop structures, showing different features between the two domains.

Summary: The mitochondrial genome of Carex breviculmis was sequenced and assembled, revealing its genomic features and possible structures. The major conformation of the mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule with 33 protein-coding genes, 15 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes. The reduction in RNA editing sites could be attributed to point mutations and retroprocessing events.

Summary: Lingula anatina, a common brachiopod in the western Pacific region, exhibits significantly longer mitogenomes with variable gene orders among localities. Analysis of specimens from Korea and Vietnam revealed relatively low substitution rates in protein-coding genes and divergence among localities in the western Pacific region. This study provides new insights into the molecular systematics of L. anatina and the evolution of brachiopod mitogenomes.

Summary: In this study, we sequenced the plastid and mitochondrial genomes of okra and characterized their structures and interactions. The plastid genome of okra is highly conserved, while the mitochondrial genome exhibits abundant subgenomic configurations. Extensive sequence transfer between the two organelles was observed, with the integration of plastid-derived genes and pseudogenization in the mitochondrial genome. Additionally, RNA editing of protein-coding genes in the organelle genomes was characterized.

Summary: This study sequenced and analyzed three complete mt genomes of Erotylinae for the first time and conducted a comparative mt genomic analysis with Languriinae. The results revealed similarities in mt genome characteristics between Erotylinae and Languriinae, providing valuable information for future research. Mitochondrial genomes of Erotylinae showed consistent arrangements with other Coleoptera species, while differences in start and stop codons were observed between Languriinae and Erotylinae species. Phylogenetic analyses supported the monophyly of Erotylidae and showed the close relationship between Erotylinae and Xenocelinae, with Languriinae nested within Erotylidae.

Summary: This study conducted comprehensive analysis on the complete chloroplast genomes of six Hedysarum species, and discovered high similarity in terms of genome size, gene sequences, and lacking IR region. Additionally, repetitive sequence regions and SSRs were reported for each species. Phylogenetic analyses showed that Hedysarum species form a monophyletic clade closely related to other legume genera. The study provides valuable genetic information for further research on the genus, including evolutionary studies, phylogenetic relationships, population genetics, and species identification.
