Mitogenome variations in Convolvulaceae. a Orders of GSS best hits in Evolvulus, Dichondra, and Cu. japonica. The numbers showed the total length (bp) of each order. Only orders >5 kb are displayed. The white sectors showed the GSS had no homologs in NCBI nt database. b, c The two potential evolutionary paths of the small mitogenome size in subgenus Grammica—either degenerated after inflation or stayed small. Red, yellow, and blue branches indicated the large, middle, and small mitogenome sizes, respectively. d Significant best hits of Cu. japonica GSS (>500 bp, i.e., HGT-like) were used to search for homologs in other dodders, with the coverage shown in the heatmap. Only a few could be found with homologs (green cells). This supported the possibility that the large mitogenome size of Cu. japonica has evolved independently from other dodders
