The chloroplast is one of two organelles containing a separate genome that codes for
essential and distinct cellular functions such as photosynthesis. Given the importance of …

Chloroplast genomes of plants are highly conserved in both gene order and gene content.
Analysis of the whole chloroplast genome is known to provide much more informative DNA …

Chloroplast genomes of plants are highly conserved in both gene order and gene content,
are maternally inherited, and have a lower rate of evolution. Chloroplast genomes are …

Comparative chloroplast genome analyses are mostly carried out at lower taxonomic levels,
such as the family and genus levels. At higher taxonomic levels, chloroplast genomes are …

Chloroplast genomes are valuable for inferring evolutionary relationships. We report the
complete chloroplast genomes of 36 Corydalis spp. and one Fumaria species. We …

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 …

Chloroplast sequences are widely used for phylogenetic analysis due to their high degree of
conservation in plants. Whole chloroplast genomes can now be readily obtained for plant …

Ampelopsis brevipedunculata is an economically important plant that belongs to the
Vitaceae family of angiosperms. The phylogenetic placement of Vitaceae is still unresolved …

Lack of complete genomic information concerning Vicia sepium (Fabaceae: Fabeae)
precludes investigations of evolution and populational diversity of this perennial high-protein …

Background Physalis L. is a genus of herbaceous plants of the family Solanaceae, which
