Early recognition by Ball and Hooker in 1878 of plant back-colonization (boomerang) events from Macaronesia to Africa [PDF]
, 2020 Recent work in island biogeography has shown that back-colonization (‘boomerang’ events) from islands to continents have occurred more frequently than previously understoodWe report possibly the earliest inference of this pattern, by John Ball and Joseph

Uniparental inheritance of chloroplast DNA is strict in the isogamous volvocalean Gonium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 A problem has remained unresolved regarding the exceptions to the unilateral inheritance of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) from MT+/female in Chlamydomonas and other volvocaleans demonstrated by the previous genetic analyses.

Implications of hybridisation and cytotypic differentiation in speciation assessed by AFLP and plastid haplotypes : a case study of Potentilla alpicola La Soie [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Hybridisation is presumed to be an important mechanism in plant speciation and a creative evolutionary force often accompanied by polyploidisation and in some cases by apomixis. The Potentilla collina group constitutes a particularly suitable

Comparative genomic analysis of Genlisea (corkscrew plants-Lentibulariaceae) chloroplast genomes reveals an increasing loss of the ndh genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 In the carnivorous plant family Lentibulariaceae, all three genome compartments (nuclear, chloroplast, and mitochondria) have some of the highest rates of nucleotide substitutions across angiosperms.

Incongruence between chloroplast and species phylogenies in eucalyptus subgenus monocalyptus (Myrtaceae) [PDF]
, 1999 Seventy-eight polymorphic cpDNA (chloroplast DNA) characters were found in 13 closely related taxa from Eucalyptus series Amygdalinae (subgenus Monocalyptus) and seven potential outgroup taxa.

Genomic profiling of plastid DNA variation in the Mediterranean olive tree
BMC Plant Biology, 2011 Background Characterisation of plastid genome (or cpDNA) polymorphisms is commonly used for phylogeographic, population genetic and forensic analyses in plants, but detecting cpDNA variation is sometimes challenging, limiting the applications of such an ...

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Fagus hayatae Palib. (Fagaceae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 Complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Fagus hayatae Palib. is yet to be reported, and the phylogenetic position of this species is still under debate. In this study, the complete cpDNA sequence of F. hayatae was determined from Illumina NovaSeq
