Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of plant pathogenic fungus, Mycosphaerella pinodes, was sequenced. The nucleotide composition of the genome is: 36.0% of A, 15.0% of C, 14.6% of G and 34.5% of T. The mitochondrial genome is 55 973 bp in length and consists of 11 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs and 25 tRNA genes. The mitogenome analysis of M. pinodes provide a molecular basis for further studies on molecular systematics and evolutionary dynamics of Ascomycetes fungi especially belonging to Dothideomycetes.
