“…Solanum commersonii is a tuber-bearing wild potato species native to Central and South America (Hawkes 1990). Because of its differences in several desirable characteristics from the cultivated potato (S. tuberosum) (Spooner et al 1991;Rodriguez and Spooner 2009;Cho et al 2016), the species has been used for potato breeding (Laferriere et al 1999;Kim-Lee et al 2005;Cho et al 2016). However, the two species are sexually incompatible because of different endosperm balance numbers (EBNs) and ploidy levels of the genomes, with S. commersonii and S. tuberosum reported as diploid and tetraploid with EBN values of 1 and 4, respectively (Johnston et al 1980;Ortiz and Ehlenfeldt 1992;Cho et al 1997).…”

We report two complete mitochondrial genome sequences of a tuber-bearing wild potato species (Solanum commersonii). The genomes are circular DNA molecules with lengths of 213,676 bp and 338,427 bp containing 80 nonredundant genes totally, including 34 protein-coding genes, 25 hypothetical open reading frames, 18 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis using common protein-coding sequences confirmed that S. commersonii belongs to the Solanoideae subfamily in the Solanaceae family.
