The chromosome-level genome assembly of Cananga odorata provides insights into its evolution and terpenoid biosynthesis.

Cananga odorata is known as a natural perfume tree of the Annonaceae family in Magnoliales. However, its phylogenetic position and the molecular mechanisms involved in the biosynthesis of the floral volatile organic compounds (VOCs) remain unclear. Here, by combining a variety of sequencing platforms, we present a telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome of C.

Genomics of the critically endangered monotypic genus Sinopora: the plastome of (Lauraceae).

is a critically endangered endemic tree species restricted to Hong Kong. Here we report its plastome sequence. The plastome was 158,612 bp in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 89,405 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,205 bp, separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,498 bp.

Plastome of and comparison of genomic diversity amongst selected species using genome skimming.

The genus L. contains several of the most economically important species for timber production in the Northern Hemisphere. It was one of the first genera described, but genetic diversity at a global scale within and amongst oak species remains unclear, despite numerous regional or species-specific assessments.

Exploring evolution and diversity of Chinese Dipterocarpaceae using next-generation sequencing.

Tropical forests, a key-category of land ecosystems, are faced with the world's highest levels of habitat conversion and associated biodiversity loss. In tropical Asia, Dipterocarpaceae are one of the economically and ecologically most important tree families, but their genomic diversity and evolution remain understudied, hampered by a lack of available genetic resources. Southern China represents the northern limit for Dipterocarpaceae, and thus changes in habitat ecology, community composition and adaptability to climatic conditions are of particular interest in this group.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of endangered Cycads Miq. ex Lem.

The whole chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of has been characterized. The cp genome length was 164,767 bp in length, with a GC content of 39.7%, containing a large single copy (LSC) of 90,226 bp, a small single copy (SSC) of 23,223 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,659 bp.

The first complete chloroplast genome of a major mangrove species Sm. and its implications on conservation efforts.

Sm. is one of the most widely distributed mangrove species worldwide. In this study, the whole chloroplast genome of was assembled for the first time not only in , but also for a member of the mangrove plant community.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Basidiomycete fungus (Paulet) Rolland.

is a commercial edible and medicinal fungus. Herein, we determined and analyzed its complete mitochondrial genome. The mitogenome length was 72,134 bp with a GC content of 26.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the , an edible mushroom.

is a medicinally and nutritionally important edible basidiomycete. Despite previous phylogenetic studies, the taxonomy of complex remains unclear due to lacking of resolutive data. Herein, the complete mitochondrial genome of is reported and analyzed.

The first complete chloroplast sequence of a major tropical timber tree in the Meranti family: (Dipterocarpaceae).

Dipterocarpaceae are one of the economically most important native tree families for timber production in tropical Asia. We report the complete chloroplast genome of (Griff.) Symington, the first in the family Dipterocarpaceae.

The chloroplast genome sequence of (Magnoliaceae), an ornamental tree species.

Magnoliaceae are both economically and ornamentally important trees. Despite extensive studies in this family, the taxonomy of L. remains unclear, as well as the taxonomical status of .

Comparison of intraspecific, interspecific and intergeneric chloroplast diversity in Cycads.

Cycads are among the most threatened plant species. Increasing the availability of genomic information by adding whole chloroplast data is a fundamental step in supporting phylogenetic studies and conservation efforts. Here, we assemble a dataset encompassing three taxonomic levels in cycads, including ten genera, three species in the genus Cycas and two individuals of C.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Castanopsis concinna (Fagaceae), a threatened species from Hong Kong and South-Eastern China.

The complete chloroplast genome of Castanopsis concinna (Champion ex Bentham) A. de Candolle, an endemic species to Hong Kong and southeastern China, was determined in this study. Due to logging, historical habitat loss, and fragmentation, conservation efforts for C.

The phylogeny and biogeographic history of ashes (fraxinus, oleaceae) highlight the roles of migration and vicariance in the diversification of temperate trees.

The cosmopolitan genus Fraxinus, which comprises about 40 species of temperate trees and shrubs occupying various habitats in the Northern Hemisphere, represents a useful model to study speciation in long-lived angiosperms. We used nuclear external transcribed spacers (nETS), phantastica gene sequences, and two chloroplast loci (trnH-psbA and rpl32-trnL) in combination with previously published and newly obtained nITS sequences to produce a time-calibrated multi-locus phylogeny of the genus. We then inferred the biogeographic history and evolution of floral morphology.

Deciduous trees and the application of universal DNA barcodes: a case study on the circumpolar Fraxinus.

The utility of DNA barcoding for identifying representative specimens of the circumpolar tree genus Fraxinus (56 species) was investigated. We examined the genetic variability of several loci suggested in chloroplast DNA barcode protocols such as matK, rpoB, rpoC1 and trnH-psbA in a large worldwide sample of Fraxinus species. The chloroplast intergenic spacer rpl32-trnL was further assessed in search for a potentially variable and useful locus.
