The Complete Plastomes of Five Hemiparasitic Plants (Osyris wightiana, Pyrularia edulis, Santalum album, Viscum liquidambaricolum, and V. ovalifolium): Comparative and Evolutionary Analyses Within Santalales [PDF]
Most species of Santalales (the sandalwood order) are hemiparasites, including both facultative and obligate hemiparasites. Despite its rich diversity, only a small fraction of the species in the sandalwood order have sequenced plastomes.

Shifts from cis-to trans-splicing of five mitochondrial introns in Tolypanthus maclurei [PDF]
Shifts from cis-to trans-splicing of mitochondrial introns tend to correlate with relative genome rearrangement rates during vascular plant evolution, as is particularly apparent in some lineages of gymnosperms.

Chromosome-level genome assemblies from two sandalwood species provide insights into the evolution of the Santalales [PDF]
Sandalwood is one of the most expensive woods in the world and is well known for its long-lasting and distinctive aroma. In our study, chromosome-level genome assemblies for two sandalwood species (Santalum album and S antalum yasi) were constructed by ...

Organellar phylogenomics of Ophioglossaceae fern genera [PDF]
Previous phylogenies showed conflicting relationships among the subfamilies and genera within the fern family Ophioglossaceae. However, their classification remains unsettled where contrasting classifications recognize four to 15 genera.
