The genome sequence of Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull, 1808 (Ericales: Ericaceae) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
We present a genome assembly of Calluna vulgaris (Heather; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Ericales; Ericaceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 521.83 megabases and 520.42 megabases.

Plastid Genome Evolution Across the Roridulaceae–Sarraceniaceae Clade (Ericales) in Relation to Carnivorous Strategies [PDF]
The Roridulaceae–Sarraceniaceae clade exhibits strikingly divergent carnivorous strategies, providing a framework to examine how trophic shifts influence plastid genome evolution. Comparative plastome analyses reveal recurrent ndh gene disruption across species, while Roridula gorgonias shows pronounced genomic restructuring, including elevated ...

Longevity in plants impacts phylogenetic and population dynamics [PDF]
Summary Phylogenies of long‐lived plants often exhibit short molecular branch lengths and high levels of gene‐tree conflict. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these patterns remain unclear. We examine this with simulations and through empirical examination of several large seed plant clades.

A chromosome‐scale genome of Sarracenia purpurea reveals a significant expansion of plant defense and stress response gene families following paleopolyploidization [PDF]
Abstract Plant carnivory evolved through gene co‐option and whole genome duplications (WGDs) over millions of years in at least 13 independent flowering plant lineages, but its genetic mechanisms remain largely unknown. To elucidate these mechanisms in Sarraceniaceae, we sequenced and assembled the Sarracenia purpurea genome and conducted a comparative

Dataset on intergenic spacer sequences of the chloroplast genome and potential DNA barcodes of Adinandra glischroloma Hand.-Mazz. from Vietnam [PDF]
Adinandra glischroloma Hand.-Mazz. is a woody species of the genus Adinandra (Pentaphylacaceae), a taxonomic group in which species delimitation is often complicated by high morphological similarity. Moreover, genetic information for A.

Comparative analysis of mitochondrial genome of Gaultheria (Ericaceae) provides insights into their adaptation to high elevation [PDF]
Background Gaultheria is one of the most valuable medicinal species and exhibits contrasting adaptability to various habitats and elevations. However, the scarcity of genomic research, with only a draft nuclear genome and a few complete plastomes ...

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 ...
