The chloroplast genomes of angiosperms usually have a stable circular quadripartite
structure that exhibits high consistency in genome size and gene order. As one of the most …

Studies on the molecular characteristics of chloroplast genome are generally important for

Chloroplast genomes of plants are highly conserved in both gene order and gene content.
Analysis of the whole chloroplast genome is known to provide much more informative DNA …

Chloroplast genome originates from the genome of ancestral cyanobacterial endosymbiont.
The comparison of the genomes of cyanobacteria and plants has been made possible by …

Variation in the chloroplast DNA sequence is useful for plant phylogenetic studies. However,

Background Camellia, comprising more than 200 species, is a valuable economic
commodity due to its enormously popular commercial products: tea leaves, flowers, and high …

Studies on chloroplast genomes of ferns and lycophytes are relatively few in comparison
with those on seed plants. Although a basic phylogenetic framework of extant ferns is …

Ampelopsis brevipedunculata is an economically important plant that belongs to the
