Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on the mitogenome of a primitive orchid group (Apostasioideae) that is important for understanding the phylogenetic relationships among monocots, as this area is largely unexplored.
  • - Researchers sequenced the complete mitogenome, which is 672,872 base pairs long, featuring 36 protein-coding genes, 16 tRNAs, and two rRNAs, along with evidence of extensive genetic diversity and repeat sequences.
  • - Phylogenetic analysis among this mitogenome and 28 other monocots suggests a solid classification and evolutionary framework for monocots, enhancing our understanding of orchid genetic resources and their molecular evolution.

Background: The Orchid family is the largest families of the monocotyledons and an economically important ornamental plant worldwide. Given the pivotal role of this plant to humans, botanical researchers and breeding communities should have access to valuable genomic and transcriptomic information of this plant. Previously, we established OrchidBase, which contains expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from different tissues and developmental stages of Phalaenopsis as well as biotic and abiotic stress-treated Phalaenopsis.

The Orchidaceae is of economic and ecological importance and constitutes ˜10% of all seed plant species. Here, we report a genome physical map for Cymbidium sinense, a well-known species belonging to genus Cymbidium that has thousands of natural variation varieties of flower organs, flower and leaf colours and also referred as the King of Fragrance, which make it arose into a unique cultural symbol in China. The high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly was 3.

The oomycete genus includes devastating plant pathogens that are found in almost all ecosystems. We sequenced the genomes of two quarantined species- and . Comparing these species and related genera allowed reconstruction of the phylogenetic relationships within the genus and revealed genomic features associated with infection and pathogenicity.

The mangrove (Rhizophoraceae) is an important coastal shelterbelt and landscape tree distributed in tropical and subtropical areas across East Asia and Southeast Asia. Herein, a chromosome-level reference genome of based on PacBio, Illumina, and Hi-C data is reported. The high-quality assembled genome size is 177.

The laurel family within the Magnoliids has attracted attentions owing to its scents, variable inflorescences, and controversial phylogenetic position. Here, we present a chromosome-level assembly of the Litsea cubeba genome, together with low-coverage genomic and transcriptomic data for many other Lauraceae. Phylogenomic analyses show phylogenetic discordance at the position of Magnoliids, suggesting incomplete lineage sorting during the divergence of monocots, eudicots, and Magnoliids.

An unbalanced pigment distribution among the sepal and petal segments results in various colour patterns of orchid flowers. Here, we explored this type of mechanism of colour pattern formation in flowers of the Cattleya hybrid 'KOVA'. Our study showed that pigment accumulation displayed obvious spatiotemporal specificity in the flowers and was likely regulated by three R2R3-MYB transcription factors.

is one of the most important ornamental and medicinal orchids. To improve our understanding of the evolution of chloroplast, we resequenced complete chloroplast (cp) genome of from Hainan, China. The cp genome sequence of of Hainan was 153,324 bp in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,922 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,258 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 26,572 bp.
