      Assembly and annotation of S. alopecuroides mitogenome. (a) The preliminary assembly graph of the mitogenome, with the contigs numbered separately. The red contigs indicate the repetitive fragments. (b) The structure of the "master circle" after debranching the initial assembly. (c) Mitogenomic annotation. Genes from different functional categories are shown in different colors.

    • Figure 2. 

      Ka/Ks ratio calculated for the 25 shared genes from the mitogenome of nine Fabales species. Different species are represented by different colors.

    • Figure 3. 

      The relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) in the S. alopecuroides mitogenome. The x-axis represents the type of amino acid. The y-axis represents the RSCU value. Each amino acid is encoded by multiple codons, represented by differently colored bars in the histogram.

    • Figure 4. 

      The simple sequence repeats (SSRs), tandem repeats, and dispersed repeats of the nine Fabales plants. (a) Comparison of the numbers of SSRs among the nine Fabales plants. (b) Comparison of the numbers of tandem repeats and dispersed repeats of the nine Fabales plants. The x-axis shows the different species. Columns with different colors represent different types of repeat units. The number of a particular type of repeat is shown above the corresponding column.

    • Figure 6. 

      Analysis of homology based on the different organelles and collinear analysis of nine Fabales species. (a) The blue arc represents the mitogenome. The green arc represents the chloroplast genome. The homologous fragments are indicated by yellow lines connecting the blue and green arcs. (b) Red arcs indicate inverted regions, and gray arcs indicate well-conserved homologous regions.
