The domestication of the Eurasian grape (Vitis vinifera ssp. sativa) from its wild ancestor
(Vitis vinifera ssp. sylvestris) has long been claimed to have occurred in Transcaucasia …

Abstract Background and Aims The origin of limes and lemons has been a source of
conflicting taxonomic opinions. Biochemical studies, numerical taxonomy and recent …

A considerable number of highly diverse species exist in genus Solanum. Because they can

The complete chloroplast genome of Artemisia annua (Asteraceae), the primary source of
artemisinin, was sequenced and analyzed. The A. annua cp genome is 150,995 bp, and …

Chloroplast microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (cpSSRs), are typically
mononucleotide tandem repeats. When located in the noncoding regions of the chloroplast …

Comparisons of complete chloroplast genome sequences of Hordeum vulgare, Sorghum
