Abstract: To elucidate the maternal genetic differentiation pattern of indigenous pig breeds in Hunan, this study retrieved 11 complete mitochondrial genome sequences from the NCBI GenBank database, including five Hunan indigenous pig breeds, Rongchang pig, Meishan pig, wild boar and outgroup taxa. Composition was analyzed using MEGA 12.0, genetic distances were calculated based on the Kimura 2‑parameter (K2P) model, and a phylogenetic tree was reconstructed using the Neighbor‑Joining (NJ) method. Analyses based on the single‑sample dataset revealed the following findings: ⑴The K2P genetic distances between the five Hunan indigenous pig breeds and Rongchang pig, Meishan pig ranged from 0.000 3 to 0.001 4, markedly lower than the divergence levels between these breeds and wild boar (0.011 3~0.022 4) and outgroup taxa (0.097 9~0.111 3). ⑵Shaziling pig occupied a basal position within the monophyletic clade formed by all seven domestic pig breeds, representing an early‑differentiated maternal lineage among the five Hunan breeds with relatively high genetic distinctiveness. Daweizi pig showed moderate genetic relatedness to the other Hunan pig breeds and Meishan pig, forming an independent sub‑clade. Ningxiang pig, Qianshao spotted pig and Xiangxi black pig were closely related and jointly formed the core genetic cluster. ⑶Genetic relationships among Hunan indigenous pig breeds were not fully consistent with their geographical distribution, suggesting that anthropogenic factors such as breed introduction and gene flow may have been involved in the formation of indigenous pig breeds, rather than being merely shaped by geographical isolation‑mediated divergence. Collectively, these results revealed the maternal genetic differentiation pattern of the five major indigenous pig breeds in Hunan, provided maternal-lineage genetic information for the conservation and utilization of indigenous pig germplasm resources.

Key words: indigenous pig, mitochondrial, whole genome, phylogeny, genetic distance, maternal origin
