Chloroplasts play a crucial role in sustaining life on earth. The availability of over 800
sequenced chloroplast genomes from a variety of land plants has enhanced our …

Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a perennial aquatic basal eudicot belonging to a small family
Nelumbonaceace, which contains only one genus with two species. It is an important …

Phylogenetic relationships in Rosaceae have long been problematic because of frequent
hybridisation, apomixis and presumed rapid radiation, and their historical diversification has …

The plastid genome of plants is the smallest and most gene‐rich of the three genomes in
each cell and the one generally present in the highest copy number. As a result, obtaining …

The rapid diversification and high species richness of flowering plants is regarded as
'Darwin's second abominable mystery'. Today the global spatiotemporal pattern of plant …

Plastid sequencing is an essential tool in the study of plant evolution. This high‐copy
organelle is one of the most technically accessible regions of the genome, and its sequence …

Recent metagenomic studies of environments, such as marine and soil, have significantly
enhanced our understanding of the diverse microbial communities living in these habitats …

Abstract Background Chrysosplenium L.(Saxifragaceae) is a genus of plants widely
distributed in Northern Hemisphere and usually found in moist, shaded valleys and …

The size of the chloroplast genome (plastome) of autotrophic angiosperms is generally
conserved. However, the chloroplast genomes of some lineages are greatly expanded …

The chloroplast genomes of angiosperms usually have a stable circular quadripartite
structure that exhibits high consistency in genome size and gene order. As one of the most …
