Background Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), a member of Arecaceae family, is one of the
three major economically important woody palms—the two other palms being oil palm and …

The plastid genome (plastome) has proved a valuable source of data for evaluating
evolutionary relationships among angiosperms. Through basic and applied approaches …

Sesamum indicum is an important crop plant species for yielding oil. The complete
chloroplast (cp) genome of S. indicum (GenBank acc no. JN637766) is 153,324 bp in length …

Background The chloroplast trnH-psbA spacer region has been proposed as a prime
candidate for use in DNA barcoding of plants because of its high substitution rate. However …

The genus Styrax L. consists of approximately 130 species distributed in the Americas,
eastern Asia, and the Mediterranean region. The phylogeny and evolutionary history of this …

We conducted a molecular phylogenetic study of the tribe Stipeae using nine plastid DNA
sequences (trnK‐matK, matK, trnH‐psbA, trnL‐F, rps3, ndhF, rpl32‐trnL, rps16‐trnK, rps16 …

In plant evolution, intracellular gene transfer (IGT) is a prevalent, ongoing process. While
nuclear and mitochondrial genomes are known to integrate foreign DNA via IGT and …

The Haloxylon genus belongs to the Amaranthaceae (formerly Chenopodiaceae) family.
The small trees or shrubs in this genus are referred to as the King of psammophytic plants …

Background Chloroplast genome sequence data is very useful in studying/addressing the
phylogeny of plants at various taxonomic ranks. However, there are no empirical …
