PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Heterotrophic angiosperms tend to have reduced plastome sizes
relative to those of their autotrophic relatives because genes that code for proteins involved …

We have analyzed the changes occurring in the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) of taxa belonging
to the Phaseolus vulgaris complex to help clarify relationships among species of this …

Inheritance of organelle genomes in conifers is different from that in angiosperms.
Restriction fragment-length polymorphisms have been used to demonstrate the paternal …

This study reports the complete chloroplast (cp) DNA sequence of Eleutherococcus
senticosus (GenBank: JN 637765), an endangered endemic species. The genome is …

The study of genomic structural evolution associated with accelerated evolutionary rates that
result in avoidance of meltdown and increase biodiversity is becoming ever more possible …

The chloroplast genome of most land plants is highly conserved. In contrast, physical and
gene mapping studies have revealed a highly rearranged chloroplast genome in species …

Cupressaceae is a conifer family distributed around the world. Cupressus and Juniperus are
