Characterize the Complete Mitogenome of Semiaquilegia guangxiensis and Assess the Efficiency of the Mitochondrial Genes in Ranunculales Phylogeny [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPlant mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has crucial functions underpinning survive, development, and reproduction of organisms. However, the complete mitogenomes have been far less assembled and annotated than plastomes and even nuclear genomes in plants,

Gene duplication and clustering underlie the conservation and diversification of benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis in plants [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsBenzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs), comprising ~2500 compounds with pharmacological significance, are well-studied in Ranunculales but poorly understood in Magnoliids, an early-diverging angiosperm group.
