Background Plastid genome structure and content is remarkably conserved in land plants.
This widespread conservation has facilitated taxon-rich phylogenetic analyses that have …

Sequencing the plastid genomes of land plants provides crucial improvements to our
understanding of the plastome evolution of land plants. Although the number of available …

The plastid organelle is essential for many vital cellular processes and the growth and
development of plants. The availability of a large number of complete plastid genomes could …

Background Despite considerable progress in our understanding of land plant phylogeny,
several nodes in the green tree of life remain poorly resolved. Furthermore, the bulk of …

The plastid genome (plastome) is a rich source of phylogenetic and other comparative data
in plants. Most land plants possess a plastome of similar structure. However, in a major …

The plastid genomes of early-diverging angiosperms were among the first land plant
plastomes investigated. Despite their importance to understanding angiosperm evolution, no …

Abstract Background Ampelopsideae J. Wen & ZL Nie is a small-sized tribe of Vitaceae
Juss., including ca. 47 species from four genera showing a disjunct distribution worldwide …

Structural variation of plastid genomes (plastomes), particularly large inversions and gene
losses, can provide key evidence for the deep phylogeny of plants. In this study, we …

The rapid increase in plastome availability on GenBank has greatly deepened our
understanding of plastomic evolution and plastid phylogenomics in gymnosperms. The …

More than 190 plastid genomes have been completely sequenced during the past two
decades due to advances in DNA sequencing technologies. Based on this unprecedented …
