Early recognition by Ball and Hooker in 1878 of plant back-colonization (boomerang) events from Macaronesia to Africa [PDF]
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

Organellar inheritance in the green lineage: insights from Ostreococcus tauri [PDF]
Along the green lineage (Chlorophyta and Streptophyta), mitochondria and chloroplast are mainly uniparentally transmitted and their evolution is thus clonal. The mode of organellar inheritance in their ancestor is less certain.

Uniparental inheritance of chloroplast DNA is strict in the isogamous volvocalean Gonium. [PDF]
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.

Genomic profiling of plastid DNA variation in the Mediterranean olive tree
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 ...

Incongruence between chloroplast and species phylogenies in eucalyptus subgenus monocalyptus (Myrtaceae) [PDF]
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.

Comparative genomic analysis of Genlisea (corkscrew plants-Lentibulariaceae) chloroplast genomes reveals an increasing loss of the ndh genes. [PDF]
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.

The utility of NBS profiling for plant systematics: a first study in tuber-bearing Solanum species [PDF]
Systematic relationships are important criteria for researchers and breeders to select materials. We evaluated a novel molecular technique, nucleotide binding site (NBS) profiling, for its potential in phylogeny reconstruction.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Fagus hayatae Palib. (Fagaceae)
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
