Abstract:
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Neckeropsis nitidula (Mitt.) M. Fleisch. in the family Neckeraceae was determined. This mitogenome was 104,716 base pairs in length and contained 40 protein-coding genes, three ribosomal RNA genes, and 24 transfer RNA genes. The overall nucleotide composition was asymmetric (29.5% A, 29.3% T, 21.3% G, and 19.9% C), with a 41.2% G + C content. The gene arrangement was identical to that of most Hypnales genomes. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the N. nitidula mitogenome obtained in this study and the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of 23 bryophytes and 3 Marchantiophyta that were publicly available in GenBank. Our phylogenetic analysis revealed that N. nitidula was clustered in a clade with other Hypnalean taxa.
