Comprehensive characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete plastomes of two ant–orchids, Caularthron bicornutum and Myrmecophila thomsoniana [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Myrmecophytes, characterized by specialized structures like hollow stems that facilitate mutualistic relationships with ants, serve as an important system for studying ant-plant interactions and the adaptation mechanisms.

Structural Characteristics, Comparative Analyses, and Conservation Significance of the Complete Chloroplast Genome of the Critically Endangered <i>Lithocarpus yongfuensis</i> (Fagaceae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast genome of L. yongfuensis. The genome structure, gene content, and phylogenetic relationships were analyzed, providing new insights into the species' evolutionary history. These findings offer valuable genomic resources for future studies on taxonomy, conservation, and molecular breeding of L ...

Evolutionary dynamics of the chloroplast genome in Daphne (Thymelaeaceae): comparative analysis with related genera and insights into phylogenetics. [PDF]

FEBS Open Bio
Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from 14 genera of Thymelaeaceae revealed variation in gene content, ranging from 128 to 142 genes, primarily influenced by IR expansion/contraction events and pseudogenization of ndhF, ndhI, and ndhG. Two large inversions were detected within the large single‐copy region, including a synapomorphic inversion ...

Molecular phylogenetics of Phyllanthus sensu lato (Phyllanthaceae): Towards coherent monophyletic taxa [PDF]

, 2021
The genus Phyllanthus is paraphyletic as currently circumscribed, with the genera Breynia, Glochidion and Synostemon nested within it. A phylogeny based on nuclear (ITS, PHYC) and chloroplast (matK, accD-psaI, trnS-trnG) markers is presented, including ...

The First Complete Chloroplast Genome of <i>Lycium shawii</i>: Genomic Architecture, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolutionary Insights. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The study presents the first complete chloroplast genome of Lycium shawii (PQ824997.1) spanning 155,936 bp and contains 128 genes (84 protein‐coding genes, 36 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs). Nucleotide diversity analysis highlighted atpI, rbcL, and accD as hypervariable loci suitable for DNA barcoding. Molecular dating analysis revealed that L.

Genetic Structure and Population Demographic History of a Widespread Mangrove Plant Xylocarpus granatum J. Koenig across the Indo-West Pacific Region [PDF]

, 2017
Xylocarpus granatum J. Koenig is one of the most widespread core component species of mangrove forests in the Indo-West Pacific (IWP) region, and as such is suitable for examining how genetic structure is generated across spatiotemporal scales.

Highly variable chloroplast markers for evaluating plant phylogeny at low taxonomic levels and for DNA barcoding. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundAt present, plant molecular systematics and DNA barcoding techniques rely heavily on the use of chloroplast gene sequences. Because of the relatively low evolutionary rates of chloroplast genes, there are very few choices suitable for molecular
