Background Cistanche is an important genus of Orobanchaceae, with critical medicinal,
economic, and desertification control values. However, the phylogenetic relationships of …

Simple Summary Plastids are semi-autonomous plant organelles which play critical roles in
photosynthesis, stress response, and storage. The plastid genomes (plastomes) in …

Bidens pilosa L. 1753 is a perennial herbaceous flowering plant, traditionally used in foods
and medicines. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and characterized the complete …

The plastid genomes (plastomes) of non-photosynthetic plants generally undergo gene loss
and pseudogenization. Despite massive plastomes reported in different parasitism types of …

Sedum is the largest succulent genus in Crassulaceae. Because of predominant maternal
inheritance, little recombination, and slow evolution, plastomes can serve as powerful super …

The conflicts exist between the phylogeny of Campanulaceae based on nuclear ITS
sequence and plastid markers, particularly in the subdivision of Cyanantheae …

Hoya is a genus in Apocynaceae-Asclepiadoideae, known for its showy wax flowers, making
it a popular ornamental plant. However, phylogenetic relationships among most Hoya …

Abstract Background and Aims Plant plastid genomes are highly conserved in size, gene
content and structure; however, parasitic plants are a noticeable exception to this …

The Annonaceae stands as the most species rich family in the Magnoliales, a basal group of
angiosperms. Widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, it holds significant …

Background The central function of chloroplasts is to carry out photosynthesis, and its gene
content and structure are highly conserved across land plants. Parasitic plants, which have …
