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 research. Previous studies based on plastid fragments and/or nuclear ribosomal
DNA have had limited success resolving relationships within the genus Salvia. This study …

Angiosperms are by far the largest group of land plants with more than 30,000 living
species. Genomics approaches have been most widely applied in the angiosperms, where …

Vicatia thibetica de Boiss.: a herb in the family Apiaceae, has been used for over a hundred
years as an essential medicinal and edible plant in the Bai ethnic group of Dali City …

Populus alba x Populus glandulosa is a hybrid species made by Dr. Hyun. It is called as
Hyunsasi tree in Korea. It has been used as a good resource for genetic engineering …

Abstract Background Primulina Hance is an emerging model for studying evolutionary
divergence, adaptation and speciation of the karst flora. However, phylogenetic …

Impatiens L., the largest genus in the family Balsaminaceae with approximately 1,000
species, is a controversial genus. Due to the conflict of morphological features and …

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 …

Due to maternal inheritance and minimal rearrangement, the chloroplast genome is an
important genetic resource for evolutionary studies. However, the evolutionary dynamics …
