In general, the chloroplast genomes of angiosperms are considered to be highly conserved
and affected little by adaptive evolution. In this study, we tested this hypothesis based on …

We have determined the complete chloroplast genome sequences of four early-diverging
lineages of angiosperms, Buxus (Buxaceae), Chloranthus (Chloranthaceae), Dioscorea …

• Premise of the study: Complete chloroplast genome studies can help resolve relationships
among large, complex plant lineages such as Asteraceae. We present the first whole …

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 …

Decaisnea insignis is a wild resource plant and is used as an ornamental, medicinal, and
fruit plant. High-throughput sequencing of chloroplast genomes has provided insight into the …

Bulbophyllum is the largest genus in Orchidaceae with a pantropical distribution. Due to
highly significant diversifications, it is considered to be one of the most taxonomically and …

Chloroplast genomes of plants are highly conserved in both gene order and gene content,
are maternally inherited, and have a lower rate of evolution. Chloroplast genomes are …

The chloroplast genome provides insight into the evolution of plant species. We de novo
assembled and annotated chloroplast genomes of four genera representing three …

Background Comparative chloroplast genomics could shed light on the major evolutionary
events that established plastomic diversity among closely related species. The …

Previous studies of trebouxiophycean chloroplast genomes revealed little information
regarding the evolutionary dynamics of this genome because taxon sampling was too …
