Quality control is essential for genome assemblies; however, a consensus has yet to be
reached on what metrics should be adopted for the evaluation of assembly quality. N50 is …

The global change scenarios highlight the urgency of clarifying the mechanisms driving the
determination of wood traits in forest trees. Coniferous xylem is characterized by the …

Main conclusion We assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of Scutellaria
tsinyunensis in this study. Repeat-mediated recombination resulted in the formation of two …

Quercus acutissima Carruth. is a Chinese important energy plant with high ecological and
economic values. While the species chloroplast genome has been reported, its …

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is one of the oldest fruits with edible, medicinal and
ornamental values. However, there is no report on the mitochondrial genome of …

Plant mitochondrial genomes display an enormous structural complexity, as recombining
repeat-pairs lead to the generation of various sub-genomic molecules, rendering these …

Background Structural descriptions of complete genomes have elucidated evolutionary
processes in angiosperms. In Cactaceae (Caryophyllales), a high structural diversity of the …

Background Plants possess mitochondrial genomes that are large and complex compared
to animals. Despite their size, plant mitochondrial genomes do not contain significantly more …

Abstract Background Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk. is a perennial herb whose
dried roots are commonly used as a source of traditional medicines. To elucidate the …

Background The complex physical structure and abundant repeat sequences make it difficult
to assemble the mitogenomes of seed plants, especially gymnosperms. Only approximately …
