The complete mitochondrial genome of a mangrove associated plant: Sesuvium portulacastrum and its phylogenetic implications

The complete mitochondrial genome of mangrove associated plant:Sesuvium portulacastrumwas analyzed in this paper, which is the first for the genus within the family Aizoaceae. The mitogenome sequence is 392,221 bp in length containing six ribosomal RNA genes, 27 transfer RNA genes, and 36 protein-coding genes. Genenad1,nad2 andnad5 are the trans-splicing genes. One intron is found in geneccmFc, two introns are found in genesnad4andrps3, and four introns are found in genenad7. Phylogenetic analysis using the maximum likelihood method positionedS. portulacastrumwithin the monophyletic clades of the family Aizoaceae.
