The chloroplast genome: a review [PDF]
Chloroplasts are the metabolically active, semi-autonomous organelles found in plants, algae and cyanobacteria. Their main function is to carry out the photosynthesis process involving a conversion of light energy into the energy of chemical bonds used ...

Complete chloroplast genome of Sedum sarmentosum and chloroplast genome evolution in Saxifragales. [PDF]
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 generally used to reconstruct phylogenies.

Evolution of the chloroplast genome [PDF]
We discuss the suggestion that differences in the nucleotide composition between plastid and nuclear genomes may provide a selective advantage in the transposition of genes from plastid to nucleus. We show that in the adenine, thymine (AT)–rich genome of Borrelia burgdorferi several genes have an AT–content lower ...

Comparative chloroplast genomes: insights into the evolution of the chloroplast genome of Camellia sinensis and the phylogeny of Camellia [PDF]
Chloroplast genome resources can provide useful information for the evolution of plant species. Tea plant (Camellia sinensis) is among the most economically valuable member of Camellia.

Chloroplast ribosomal protein L32 is encoded in the chloroplast genome [PDF]
The 50 S subunit of chloroplast ribosomes was prepared from tobacco leaves. The proteins were fractionated and the N‐terminal amino acid sequence of a 14 kDa protein was determined. This sequence matches the N‐terminal sequence deduced from ORF55 located between ndhF and trnL on the small single‐copy region of tobacco chloroplast DNA.

The remarkable chloroplast genome of dinoflagellates [PDF]
Dinoflagellates are an economically and ecologically important eukaryotic algal group. The organization of their chloroplast genome appears to be radically different from that in plants and other algae. The gene content has been dramatically reduced in dinoflagellates, with the large-scale transfer of genes to the nucleus.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Enkianthus perulatus (Miq.) C.K.Schneid. (Ericaceae) [PDF]
Enkianthus perulatus (Miq.) C.K.Schneid. is a popular ornamental plant in Japan, for which the chloroplast genome has not been previously reported. Its complete chloroplast genome was therefore determined, using a high-throughput sequencing technique ...

A systematic comparison of chloroplast genome assembly tools [PDF]
Chloroplasts are intracellular organelles that enable plants to conduct photosynthesis. They arose through the symbiotic integration of a prokaryotic cell into an eukaryotic host cell and still contain their own genomes with distinct genomic information.

Insights into the phylogeny and chloroplast genome evolution of Eriocaulon (Eriocaulaceae)
Background Eriocaulon is a wetland plant genus with important ecological value, and one of the famous taxonomically challenging groups among angiosperms, mainly due to the high intraspecific diversity and low interspecific variation in the morphological ...

Plastome (Plastid genome) sequences provide valuable markers for surveying evolutionary relationships and population genetics of plant species. Papilionoideae (papilionoids) has different nucleotide and structural variations in plastomes, which makes it ...
