| description | German chamomile (<i>Matricaria chamomilla</i> L.) and Roman chamomile (<i>Chamaemelum nobile</i>) are the two well-known chamomile species from the Asteraceae family. Owing to their essential oils and higher medicinal value, these have been cultivated widely across Europe, Northwest Asia, North America, and Africa. Regarding medicinal applications, German chamomile is the most commonly utilized variety and is frequently recognized as the “star among medicinal species”. The insufficient availability of genomic resources may negatively impact the progression of chamomile industrialization. Chamomile’s mitochondrial genome is lacking in extensive empirical research. In this study, we achieved the successful sequencing and assembly of the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>M. chamomilla</i> and <i>C. nobile</i> for the first time. An analysis was conducted on codon usage, sequence repeats within the mitochondrial genome of <i>M. chamomilla</i> and <i>C. nobile</i>. The phylogenetic analysis revealed a consistent positioning of <i>M. chamomilla</i> and <i>C. nobile</i> branches within both mitochondrial and plastid-sequence-based phylogenetic trees. Furthermore, the phylogenetic analysis also showed a close relationship between <i>M. chamomilla</i> and <i>C. nobile</i> within the clade comprising species from the Asteraceae family. The results of our analyses provide valuable resources for evolutionary research and molecular barcoding in chamomile. |
