The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Ophiorrhiza guizhouensis</i> (Gentianales: Rubiaceae), a traditional medicinal plant

The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Ophiorrhiza guizhouensis</i> has not previously been reported, hindering insights into its genetic makeup and evolutionary history. In this study, we assembled and annotated this genome, revealing a single loop structure containing 36 protein-coding genes (GenBank accession number: PX058827). The total length of the genome was found to be 476,177 bp, and its GC content was 43.55%. Phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genes indicated that <i>Ophiorrhiza guizhouensis</i> shared close evolutionary relationships with <i>Psychotria viridis</i>, <i>Psychotria serpens</i>, and <i>Damnacanthus indicus.</i>
