The complete plastid genomes of the two 'dinotoms' Durinskia baltica and Kryptoperidinium foliaceum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 In one small group of dinoflagellates, photosynthesis is carried out by a tertiary endosymbiont derived from a diatom, giving rise to a complex cell that we collectively refer to as a 'dinotom'.

Complete Plastid Genome Sequencing of Four Tilia Species (Malvaceae): A Comparative Analysis and Phylogenetic Implications. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Tilia is an ecologically and economically important genus in the family Malvaceae. However, there is no complete plastid genome of Tilia sequenced to date, and the taxonomy of Tilia is difficult owing to frequent hybridization and polyploidization.

Long-reads reveal that Rhododendron delavayi plastid genome contains extensive repeat sequences, and recombination exists among plastid genomes of photosynthetic Ericaceae [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Rhododendron delavayi Franch. var. delavayi is a wild ornamental plant species in Guizhou Province, China. The lack of its plastid genome information seriously hinders the further application and conservation of the valuable resource.

The Plastid Genome of Deschampsia cespitosa (Poaceae) [PDF]
Molecules, 2019 Plastid genome analysis of non-model organisms provides valuable information for basic research e.g., molecular evolutionary genomics, phylogeny and phylogeography. Deschampsia cespitosa is the most widespread species of the genus and it is a common grass that is found across Eurasia and North America.

Rhopalocnemis phalloides has one of the most reduced and mutated plastid genomes known [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Although most plant species are photosynthetic, several hundred species have lost the ability to photosynthesize and instead obtain nutrients via various types of heterotrophic feeding.

The Complete Plastid Genome Sequence of the Haptophyte Emiliania huxleyi: a Comparison to Other Plastid Genomes [PDF]
DNA Research, 2005 The complete nucleotide sequence of the plastid genome of the haptophyte Emiliania huxleyi has been determined. E. huxleyi is the most abundant coccolithophorid and has a key role in the carbon cycle. It is also implicated in the production of dimethylsulphide (DMS), which is involved in cloud nucleation and may affect the global climate.
