The grade of early-diverging eudicots includes five major lineages: Ranunculales,
Trochodendrales, Buxales, Proteales and Sabiaceae. To examine the evolution of plastome …

Background The recent determination of complete chloroplast (cp) genomic sequences of
various plant species has enabled numerous comparative analyses as well as advances in …

Chloroplast genomes of Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] and radiata
(Monterey) pine [Pinus radiata D. Don], two conifers from the widespread Pinaceae, were …

The genus Broussonetia (Moraceae) is comprised of three non-hybrid recognized species
that all produce high quality fiber essential in the development of papermaking and …

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 …

We have cloned into plasmids 17 of 18 lettuce chloroplast DNA SacI fragments covering
96% of the genome. The cloned fragments were used to construct cleavage maps for 10 …

Plants are generated by a series of cell divisions in meristematic tissues. The apical
meristem is formed during the early stages of embryogenesis and consists of two outer cell …

Malvaceae sl is the largest family of Malvales, comprising more than 4225 species. Within
Malvaceae, the phylogenetic relationships among subfamilies remain controversial. To …

Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) restriction site maps for 113 species of Apiaceae (Umbelliferae)
and the allied families Araliaceae and Pittosporaceae were constructed for two enzymes …

Cloned genes from tobacco, spinach, and pea were used as hybridization probes to localize
36 protein genes on the chloroplast chromosomes of four legumes—mung bean, common …
