The Mitochondrial Genome of Nematodontous Moss Polytrichum commune and Analysis of Intergenic Repeats Distribution Among Bryophyta

An early-branched moss Polytrichum commune is a widely accepted model object for ecological, environmental, physiological, and genetic studies. Its mitochondrial genome has been sequenced annotated. The contains 67 genes in total length equal to 114,831 bp, which exceeds the of most known genomes mosses. A phylogenetic tree based on 33 coding sequences was constructed, pairwise identity whole mitogenome estimated 44 Bryophyta species. Based analysis identity, it shown that mitogenomes Tetraphis pellucida Buxbaumia aphylla sufficiently differ from those other first rearrangement identified Pogonatum inflexum within Polytrichopsida. intergenic repeats occurrence bryophyte available data repetitive elements content Viridiplantae groups, noted time greater stability moss’s probably associated mainly with absence long (>1 kb) repeats. phenomenon terminal clades species discovered.
