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 …

Using DNA barcoding for species identification remains challenging for many plant groups.
New sequencing approaches such as complete plastid genome sequencing may provide …

Background Next-generation sequencing has provided a wealth of plastid genome
sequence data from an increasingly diverse set of green plants (Viridiplantae). Although …

Previous mapping studies have revealed that the frequency and large size of inverted repeat
junction shifts in Apiaceae plastomes are unusual among angiosperms. To further examine …

Recent plastid phylogenomic studies have helped clarify the backbone phylogeny of
angiosperms. However, the relatively limited taxon sampling in these studies has precluded …

DNA sequence data and phylogenetic approaches have contributed greatly to our
understanding of fern relationships. Nonetheless, the datasets analyzed to date have not …

Accurately resolving the phylogeny of enigmatic taxa is always a challenge in phylogenetic
inference. Such uncertainties could be due to systematic errors or model violations. Here …

We use multiple photosynthetic, chlororespiratory, and plastid translation apparatus loci and
their associated noncoding regions (ca. 16 kb per taxon, prior to alignment) to make strongly …

Abstract Following (1) the large-scale molecular phylogeny of seed plants based on plastid
rbcL gene sequences (published in 1993 by Chase et al., Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 80: 528 …

Plastid matK gene sequences for 374 genera representing all angiosperm orders and 12
genera of gymnosperms were analyzed using parsimony (MP) and Bayesian inference (BI) …
