The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a major source of protein and essential nutrients
for humans. To explore the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of P. vulgaris, its …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) among flowering plant mitochondria occurs frequently and,
in most cases, leads to nonfunctional transgenes in the recipient genome. Parasitic plants …

Angiosperm mitochondrial horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been widely reported during
the past decades. With a few exceptions, foreign sequences are mitochondrial genes or …

Background Organelle genome studies of Fabaceae, an economically and ecologically
important plant family, have been biased towards the plastid genome (plastome). Thus far …

The genus Trifolium is the largest of the tribe Trifolieae in the subfamily Papilionoideae
(Fabaceae). The paucity of mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences has hindered …

The early diversification of angiosperms is thought to have been a rapid process, which may
complicate phylogenetic analyses of early angiosperm relationships. Plastid and nuclear …

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and applications have enabled numerous
critical advances in legume biology, from marker discovery to whole-genome sequencing …

Plant mitochondria are crucial for species evolution, phylogenetics, classification, and
identification as maternal genetic material. However, the presence of numerous repetitive …

Plant nuclear genomes harbor sequence elements derived from the organelles
(mitochondrion and plastid) through intracellular gene transfer (IGT). Nuclear genomes also …

Citrus, which is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates, is one of the most
important crops in the world. Here, we assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast …
