Introduction: Phylogenomics have been widely used to resolve ambiguous and controversial evolutionary relationships among plant species and genera, and the identification of unique indels in plastomes may even help to understand the evolution of some plant families. L. (Menispermaceae) consists of three species, DC.

The moonseed genus L. (Menispermaceae) is disjunctly distributed in East Asia and eastern North America. Although has important medicinal value, genetic and genomic information is scarce, with very few available molecular markers.

Background: The ubiquitous signaling molecule melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) (MT) plays vital roles in plant development and stress tolerance. Selenium (Se) may be phytotoxic at high concentrations. Interactions between MT and Se (IV) stress in higher plants are poorly understood.

The genus (Stemonaceae) is an excellent model for studying the evolution of the Eastern Asia (EA)-Eastern North America (ENA) floristic disjunction and the genetic mechanisms of floral zygomorphy formation. In addition to the presence of both actinomorphic and zygomorphic flowers within the genus, species are disjunctively distributed between EA and ENA. However, due to the limited availability of genomic resources, few studies of have examined these questions.

is one of the most important medicinal plant genera in eastern Asia. To better understand the evolution of this genus, the complete chloroplast genome of var. was obtained by next-generation sequencing.

is a woody liana with great medicinal value. In the current study, we assembled the first chloroplast (cp) genome of The whole chloroplast genome is 158,623 bp in length, with one large copy region (LSC: 88,879 bp), a small single copy region (SSC: 20,644 bp), and two inverted repeats (IR: 24,550 bp). The cp genome contains 114 unique genes with 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes.
