Isolation of precise plastid deletion mutants by homology-based excision: A resource for site-directed mutagenesis, multi-gene changes and high-throughput plastid transformation [PDF]
We describe a simple and efficient homology-based excision method to delete plastid genes. The procedure allows one or more adjacent plastid genes to be deleted without the retention of a marker gene.

Symbiotic b-proteobacteria beyond Legumes : Burkholderia in Rubiaceae [PDF]
Symbiotic ß-proteobacteria not only occur in root nodules of legumes but are also found in leaves of certain Rubiaceae. The discovery of bacteria in plants formerly not implicated in endosymbiosis suggests a wider occurrence of plant-microbe interactions.

Rapid evolutionary change of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) plastome, and the genomic diversification of legume chloroplasts [PDF]
Background Fabaceae (legumes) is one of the largest families of flowering plants, and some members are important crops. In contrast to what we know about their great diversity or economic importance, our knowledge at the genomic level of chloroplast ...

This study presents the first complete chloroplast genomes of two medicinally important Stachys species, S. persica and S. germanica. Comparative phylogenomic analyses revealed highly conserved genomes with lineage‐specific variations, identified hypervariable regions as candidate DNA barcodes, and detected signatures of positive selection in the petB ...
