Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Tetragonia tetragonioides (Pall.) Kuntze was assembled and characterized in the present study. The mitochondrial genome was 347,227 bp in length and had a GC content of 43.84%, including 24 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and three ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that T. tetragonioides was close to and Sesuvium portulacastrum.
