Stewartia sichuanensis is a rare plant species of Theaceae and is endemic to China. Its distribution area is highly restricted, and genomic information is extremely limited. The present study reports the first complete chloroplast of S. sichuanensis. The chloroplast genome length was 158,903 bp, with a GC content of 37.3%. The chloroplast genome was comprised of an 87,736 bp long large single copy (LSC), an 18,435 bp long small single copy (SSC), and two copies of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,366 bp. It contained 129 genes, including 85 encoding, 36 transfer RNA, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that S. sichuanensis was closely related to S. laotica and S. pteropetiolata. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complete mitochondrial genome of the tiger tail seahorse was sequenced using a polymerase chain reaction-based method. The total length of mitochondrial DNA is 16,525 bp and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The mitochondrial gene arrangement of the tiger tail seahorse is also matching the one observed in the most vertebrate creatures. Base composition of the genome is A (32.8%), T (29.8%), C (23.0%), and G (14.4%) with an A+T-rich hallmark as that of other vertebrate mitochondrial genomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Wanieso lizardfish (Saurida wanieso) was determined by using a PCR-based method. The total length of mitochondrial DNA is 16,552 base pairs including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA genes, 1 replication origin region and 1 control region as otherSauridaspp. and bony fish. Base composition of the genome is A (25.7%), T (25.2%), C (31.5%), and G (17.6%) with an A + T-rich hallmark as that of other vertebrate mitochondrial genomes. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
