Complete mitogenome characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of traditional Chinese medicinal plant Tinospora sagittata (Oliv.) Gagnep. from the Menispermaceae family by Jing Zhao, Zi-Han Chen, Peng-Cheng Huang, Liu-Wei Chen, Ming-Xian Zhang, Li-Hua Wang, You-Yong Zhu, Jia-Guan Wang, Yu Zhao

“…Although its plastome and nuclear genome had been sequenced, its mitochondrial genome has not been explored, which significantly hampers conservation efforts and further research for this species. In addition, previous efforts based on multiple molecular markers providing profound insights into an intergeneric phylogenetic framework for Burasaieae and sampled species of T. sagittata are placed in a superclades, species delimitation of T. sagittata still need to be comprehensively evaluated. …”
