Genome assembly of Petrocosmea qinlingensis: adult leaf
The primary goal of this study is to assemble a high-quality, complete mitochondrial genome for the plant species Petrocosmea qinlingensis using long-read PacBio HiFi sequencing technology. High-molecular-weight DNA was extracted from fresh leaf tissue of a single wild individual. The library was constructed without any specific selection or amplification steps, representing the native genomic content. The resulting HiFi long reads were assembled to resolve the complex structure of the mitogenome, including repeats and plastid-derived sequences. This genomic resource will facilitate phylogenetic analysis within the Gesneriaceae family and studies on plant mitochondrial genome evolution.
