Ancient DNA reveals the timing and persistence of organellar genetic bottlenecks over 3,000 years of sunflower domestication and improvement [PDF]
Here, we report a comprehensive paleogenomic study of archaeological and ethnographic sunflower remains that provides significant new insights into the process of domestication of this important crop.

PACVr: plastome assembly coverage visualization in R [PDF]
Abstract Background Plastid genomes typically display a circular, quadripartite structure with two inverted repeat regions, which challenges automatic assembly procedures. The correct assembly of plastid genomes is a prerequisite for the validity of subsequent analyses on genome structure and evolution.

Complete chloroplast genome of Acer tegmentosum and phylogenetic analysis
The aim of the present study was to sequence and analyze the complete plastid genome (i.e. plastome) of Acer tegmentosum Maxim. The plastome of A. tegmentosum was 156,435 bp in length and included both large (86,265 bp) and small (18,102 bp) single-copy ...

This study uses Angiosperms353 target capture sequencing to resolve the taxonomic status and conservation needs of Androsace cantabrica, a rare alpine plant endemic to northern Spain. Phylogenomic analyses confirm its distinctiveness from related species, and population genomic data reveal shallow genetic structure and moderate diversity, supporting ...

Nuclear Photosynthetic Gene Expression Is Synergistically Modulated by Rates of Protein Synthesis in Chloroplasts and Mitochondria [PDF]
Arabidopsis thaliana mutants prors1-1 and -2 were identified on the basis of a decrease in effective photosystem II quantum yield. Mutations were localized to the 5'-untranslated region of the nuclear gene PROLYL-tRNA SYNTHETASE1 (PRORS1), which acts in ...

In this study, we present the first de novo assembled chloroplast genome of Carissa spinarum L. and provide detailed insights into its genomic features. This is the second genome we are characterizing from the genus Carissa L. as before the article on Carissa macrocarpa exists. Furthermore, we reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of C. spinarum

NUPTs in Sequenced Eukaryotes and Their Genomic Organization in Relation to NUMTs [PDF]
NUPTs (nuclear plastid DNA) derive from plastid-to-nucleus DNA transfer and exist in various plant species. Experimental data imply that the DNA transfer is an ongoing, highly frequent process, but for the interspecific diversity of NUPTs, no clear ...

Temperature responses of Rubisco from Paniceae grasses provide opportunities for improving C3 photosynthesis. [PDF]
Enhancing the catalytic properties of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco is a target for improving agricultural crop productivity. Here, we reveal extensive diversity in the kinetic response between 10 and 37 °C by Rubisco from C3 and C4 species within the ...

Phylogenomics and plastome evolution of Lithospermeae (Boraginaceae)
Lithospermeae is the largest tribe within Boraginaceae. The tribe has been the focus of multiple phylogenetic studies over the last 15 years, with most focused on one genus or a few genera. In the present study, we newly sequenced 69 species of Lithospermeae and relatives to analyze the phylogenomic relationships among its members as well as the ...
