This research gap substantially restricts the comprehensive exploration of its genomic resources and phylogenetic relationships. To fill this gap, we assembled and annotated the mitochondrial genome of\n                    <jats:italic>C. wenyujin<\/jats:italic>\n                    using a combination of second- and third-generation sequencing technologies. Our results show that the mitochondrial genome is predominantly composed of 26 linear DNA molecules and one circular DNA molecule, with a total length of 7,856,194 bp and a GC content of 43.91%. We identified 125 genes, 90,107 simple repeats, 6,629 tandem repeats, 81,307 dispersed repeats, 2,171 SSRs, and 506 RNA editing sites in the genome. Most protein-coding genes initiate with the canonical ATG start codon, and a strong preference for A or T (U) at the third codon position was observed. The codons UUU, AUU, and UUC are the most frequently used in the mitochondria of\n                    <jats:italic>C. wenyujin<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Codon usage bias analysis revealed a strong preference for A\/T-ending codons (87.1% of preferred codons), consistent with the conserved pattern observed in angiosperm mitochondrial genomes. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis was performed based on 24 representative plant species, revealing a close genetic relationship between\n                    <jats:italic>C. wenyujin<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Pontederia crassipes<\/jats:italic>\n                    within the order Commelinales. Comparative analyses with the congener\n                    <jats:italic>Curcuma amarissima<\/jats:italic>\n                    (Zingiberaceae) further supported high evolutionary conservation of mitochondrial genomes in the ginger family. This study represents the first comprehensive report on the mitochondrial genome of\n                    <jats:italic>C. wenyujin<\/jats:italic>\n                    , laying a solid foundation for future studies on its crop genetics and molecular breeding.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpls.2026.1899169","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,23]],"date-time":"2026-07-23T10:10:40Z","timestamp":1784801440000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Assembly and comparative analysis of the multipartite mitochondrial genome of Curcuma wenyujin reveals sequence divergence, structural variation, and phylogenetic placement within Commelinales"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Zhihao","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wenzhou Medical University","place":["Wenzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zihan","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wenzhou Medical University","place":["Wenzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruike","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wenzhou Medical University","place":["Wenzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yiwen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, The Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University (The First Hospital of Jiaxing)","place":["Jiaxing, China"]},{"name":"Jiaxing Key Laboratory of Osteoporosis and Bone Metabolism, The Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University (The First Hospital of Jiaxing)","place":["Jiaxing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lishang","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wenzhou Medical University","place":["Wenzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenfei","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wenzhou Medical University","place":["Wenzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1436","DOI":"10.1093\/molbev\/msq029","article-title":"Insights into the evolution of mitochondrial genome size from complete sequences of Citrullus lanatus and Cucurbita pepo (Cucurbitaceae)","volume":"27","author":"Alverson","year":"2010","journal-title":"Mol.
