Complete mitochondrial genome sequences are now available for representatives of all
major clades of land plants except for the ferns (monilophytes). More than 30 chondrome …

Early land plant mitochondrial genomes captured important changes of mitochondrial
genome evolution when plants colonized land. The chondromes of seed plants show …

Apostasia shenzhenica belongs to the subfamily Apostasioideae and is a primitive group
located at the base of the Orchidaceae phylogenetic tree. However, the A. shenzhenica …

The recent developments in high-throughput DNA sequencing allowed major advances in
organelle genomics. Assembly of mitochondrial genomes (hereafter mitogenomes) in higher …

Pereskia aculeata is a potential new crop species that has both food and medicinal
(antinociceptive activity) properties. However, comprehensive genomic research on P …

Background In contrast to the highly labile mitochondrial (mt) genomes of vascular plants,
the architecture and composition of mt genomes within the main lineages of bryophytes …

Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.), a member of the palm family (Arecaceae), is one of the most
economically important crops in tropics, serving as an important source of food, drink, fuel …

Plant mitogenomes can be difficult to assemble because they are structurally dynamic and
prone to intergenomic DNA transfers, leading to the unusual situation where an organelle …

Mitochondrial genomes have maintained some bacterial features despite their residence
within eukaryotic cells for approximately two billion years. One of these features is the …

Background Chloroplast genomes provide insufficient phylogenetic information to
distinguish between closely related sugarcane cultivars, due to the recent origin of many …
