Phylogenetic reconstruction and species delimitation in Stipeae with special reference to Stipa (Poaceae, Pooideae) using mitochondrial genomes

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Compared to plastid genomes, plant mitochondrial genomes have been less frequently used for species discrimination and phylogenetic studies due to assembly challenges, lower substitution rates and rapid structural evolution. However, this study demonstrates that mitochondrial genome fragments can be valuable for both molecular species identification ...

The complete plastome sequences of Mangifera indica L. (Anacardiaceae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
In this study, we determined the complete plastome sequence of Mangifera indica L. (Anacardiaceae) (NCBI acc. no. KX871231). The complete plastome is 157,780 bp in length, and consists of a large single copy of 86,673 bp and a small single copy of 18,349

So Young, So Rich: Habitat Shifts Combined With Trait Evolution Promoted Species Radiation in Senecio in the Andes

Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The outstanding Andean biodiversity has been linked to the occurrence of evolutionary radiations that are common among high‐elevation plant lineages. One of the most iconic examples is found in the species‐rich genus Senecio, with an impressive variation in growth forms and habitat preference.

Diverging repeatomes in holoparasitic Hydnoraceae uncover a playground of genome evolution

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The transition from an autotrophic to a heterotrophic lifestyle is associated with numerous genomic changes. These often involve large genomic alterations, potentially driven by repetitive DNAs. Despite their recognized role in shaping plant genomes, the contribution of repetitive DNAs to parasitic plant genome evolution remains largely ...

Mitochondrial genome evolution in Alismatales: Size reduction and extensive loss of ribosomal protein genes [PDF]

, 2017
The order Alismatales is a hotspot for evolution of plant mitochondrial genomes characterized by remarkable differences in genome size, substitution rates, RNA editing, retrotranscription, gene loss and intron loss.

The Plastome Sequences of Triticum sphaerococcum (ABD) and Triticum turgidum subsp. durum (AB) Exhibit Evolutionary Changes, Structural Characterization, Comparative Analysis, Phylogenomics and Time Divergence

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
The mechanism and course of Triticum plastome evolution is currently unknown; thus, it remains unclear how Triticum plastomes evolved during recent polyploidization.

The complete plastome of Bennettiodendron brevipes [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2019
Bennettiodendron brevipes, which is only distributed in China, is a genus of the family Salicaceae. In this study, we assembled the complete chloroplast genome of B. brevipes using Illumina paired-end sequencing data. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of B. brevipes is 158,605 bp in size.
