The complete mitochondrial genome of Cycas debaoensis revealed unexpected static evolution in gymnosperm species.

Mitochondrial genomes of vascular plants are well known for their liability in architecture evolution. However, the evolutionary features of mitogenomes at intra-generic level are seldom studied in vascular plants, especially among gymnosperms. Here we present the complete mitogenome of Cycas debaoe...
