Project description:Fallopia multiflora is an important Oriental herb belonging to the family Polygonaceae. The F. multiflora mitochondrial genome consists of two circular chromosomes that were 200,352- and 112,098-nucleotides long. The mitochondrial genome encodes 57 genes, including 34 protein-coding genes, 20 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and three ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. When accounting for 3 overlapping genes, 38 genes were found in chromosome I, and 22 in chromosome II. The phylogenetic analysis suggests that F. multiflora is closely related to Beta macrocarpa and Silene latifolia.
