The mitochondrial genome of Oryza sativa L. cv. Taichung 65 (Poaceae)

Abstract

A complete mitochondrial genome sequence was determined by a hybrid approach with long- and short-read sequences in a japonica rice cultivar Taichung 65. The assembled mitochondrial genome was 401,060 bases in length and an overall GC content of 43.88% and predicted to harbor 57 protein-encoding, 18 transfer RNA, and 3 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic and sequence polymorphism analysis indicated that Taichung 65 is classified as typical japonica. The mitochondrial genome resource would serve as a fundamental tool to investigate cytoplasmic male sterility in rice.
