The genetic structure and demographic history of , endemic to Korean limestone karst forests, based on genome-wide SNP markers.

Similar to the global phenomenon, many plant species endemic to Korean limestone karst forests are at risk of extinction due to human intervention. is a familiar shrub, called "Hardy abelia" and "Fragrant abelia" growing in the karst forests of Korea, where it is one of the most threatened species. We investigated the genetic structure and demographic history of , which allow us to develop appropriate conservation and management strategies.

Genetic and demographic signatures accompanying the evolution of the selfing syndrome in Daphne kiusiana, an evergreen shrub.

Background And Aims: The evolution of mating systems from outcrossing to self-fertilization is a common transition in flowering plants. This shift is often associated with the 'selfing syndrome', which is characterized by less visible flowers with functional changes to control outcrossing. In most cases, the evolutionary history and demographic dynamics underlying the evolution of the selfing syndrome remain poorly understood.

Complete plastid genome sequence of (Laurales: Lauraceae), an evergreen broad-leaved tree endemic to East Asia.

In this study, we sequenced the complete plastid genome (plastome) of , an evergreen broad-leaved tree endemic to East Asia, a woody component of East Asian warm-temperate and subtropical forests across China, Korea, and Japan. The plastome of is assembled as a single contig (152,722 bp). A large and a small single copy (93,785 and 18,795 bp, respectively) of the genome are separated by a pair of inverted repeats (20,071 bp).

Comparative Mitogenomic Analysis Reveals Gene and Intron Dynamics in Rubiaceae and Intra-Specific Diversification in .

The dynamic evolution of mitochondrial gene and intron content has been reported across the angiosperms. However, a reference mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is not available in Rubiaceae. The phylogenetic utility of mitogenome data at a species level is rarely assessed.

The complete plastid genome sequence of (Ericales: Ericaceae), a deciduous broad-leaved shrub endemic to East Asia.

We here sequenced the complete plastid genome (plastome) of (Ericaceae), a deciduous broad-leaved shrub endemic to East Asia. This species has considerable practical economic value. The plastome of is assembled as a single contig (187,213 bp).

The complete plastid genome sequence of (Fagaceae), an evergreen broad-leaved oak endemic to East Asia.

We are reporting the complete plastid genome (plastome) of , an evergreen broad-leaved oak endemic to East Asia. This species is important for maintaining the warm-temperate evergreen forest biome in East Asia. The plastome is 160,522 base pairs (bp) long, with two inverted repeat (IR) regions (25,839 bp each) that separate a large single copy (LSC) region (90,199 bp) and a small single copy (SSC) region (18,645 bp).

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Loranthaceae): a hemi-parasitic evergreen shrub in East Asia.

(Loranthaceae) is a hemiparasitic evergreen shrub distributed in Korea and Japan. We report the complete chloroplast genome of to provide insight into the phylogenetic relationship of Loranthaceae. This genome is 122,192 bp long, with two IR regions (22,756 bp each) that separate a large single-copy (LSC) region (70,628 bp) and a small single-copy (SSC) region (6052 bp).

Rear-edge, low-diversity, and haplotypic uniformity in cold-adapted interglacial refugia populations.

The high genetic diversity of rear-edge refugia populations is predicted to have resulted from species repeatedly migrating to low latitudes during glacial periods over the course of Quaternary climate change. However, several recent empirical studies of cold-tolerant plants revealed the opposite pattern. We investigated whether current habitats of the cold-adapted and range-restricted in the Baekdudaegan, South Korea, and North Korea could be interglacial refugia, and documented how their rear-edge populations differ genetically from those of typical temperate species.

A Disjunctive Marginal Edge of Evergreen Broad-Leaved Oak () in East Asia: The High Genetic Distinctiveness and Unusual Diversity of Jeju Island Populations and Insight into a Massive, Independent Postglacial Colonization.

Jeju Island is located at a marginal edge of the distributional range of East Asian evergreen broad-leaved forests. The low genetic diversity of such edge populations is predicted to have resulted from genetic drift and reduced gene flow when compared to core populations. To test this hypothesis, we examined the levels of genetic diversity of marginal-edge populations of , restricted to a few habitats on Jeju Island, and compared them with the southern Kyushu populations.

Development of 26 microsatellite markers in (Apiaceae), an endangered plant endemic to Ulleung Island, Korea.

Premise Of The Study: To enhance our understanding of evolutionary consequences and to establish a suitable conservation strategy, we isolated microsatellite markers for the endangered (Apiaceae), which is endemic to the oceanic Ulleung Island. We also attempted cross-amplification in and to investigate its continental progenitors.

Methods And Results: Using high-throughput sequencing data, we developed 26 polymorphic microsatellite loci in three multiplexes, of which 13 loci were polymorphic in the two related species.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Adoxaceae), an evergreen broad-leaved shrub.

The wax-leafed (Adoxaceae) is an evergreen shrub distributed in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. We sequenced its complete chloroplast (cp) genome to examine its phylogenetic relationship within Dipsacales. This genome is 158,614 bp long and features a large single-copy region (87,059 bp) and a small single-copy region (18,523 bp), separated by two inverted-repeat regions (26,516 bp each).
