# Complete mitochondrial genome of the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. palmarum responsible for fusarium wilt of palms

## TL;DR

This paper reports the full mitochondrial genome of a fungus that causes disease in palms.

## Contribution

The complete mitochondrial genome of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. palmarum is sequenced and described.

## Key findings

- The mitochondrial genome is 47.3 kb in size and circular.
- It contains 14 core genes typical of fungal mitogenomes.
- Two introns encoding homing endonucleases were identified.

## Abstract

We present the complete mitochondrial genome of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. palmarum (FOP), a fungal pathogen that causes fusarium wilt of palms. The 47.3 kb circular FOP mitogenome contains the 14 core genes typically conserved in fungal mitogenomes and two introns encoding for homing endonucleases.
