Extensive reorganization of the chloroplast genome of : A comparative analysis of their organization and evolution with other plastomes.

Introduction: The chloroplast (cp) is an autonomous plant organelle with an individual genome that encodes essential cellular functions. The genome architecture and gene content of the cp is highly conserved in angiosperms. The plastome of belongs to the Papaveraceae family, and the genome is comprised of unusual rearrangements and gene content.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of endemic to Korea.

species are highly valued and widely used traditional medicinal plants in East Asia. In this article, the complete chloroplast genome of , a species endemic to South Korea, is reported for the first time. The genome is 153,016 bp long, and it is composed of a pair of 25,485 bp inverted repeats (IRs), separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 84,124 bp, and a small single copy (SSC) region of 17,922 bp.

The complete chloroplast genome of Nakai from Dokdo Island in Korea (Campanulaceae).

Completed chloroplast genome of Nakai isolated from Dokdo island in Korea is 169,719 bp long (GC ratio is 38.8%) and has four subregions: 102,381 bp of large single-copy (37.8%) and 7,750 bp of small single-copy (32.

Identification of plastid genomic regions inferring species identity from de novo plastid genome assembly of 14 Korean-native Iris species (Iridaceae).

Iris is one of the largest genera in the family Iridaceae, comprising hundreds of species, including numerous economically important horticultural plants used in landscape gardening and herbal medicine. Improved taxonomic classification of Iris species, particularly the endangered Korean-native Iris, is needed for correct species delineation. To this end, identification of diverse genetic markers from Iris genomes would facilitate molecular identification and resolve ambiguous classifications from molecular analyses; however, only two Iris plastid genomes, from Iris gatesii and Iris sanguinea, have been sequenced.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of the giant knotweed, from the volcanic island Dokdo, Republic of Korea.

The giant knotweed plant, is confined to Ulleung and Dokdo islands, Korea. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of . The chloroplast genome size was 163,485 bp in length, containing a couple of identical inverted repeat regions of 31,108 bp, a large single-copy region of 87,703 bp and small single-copy region of 13,566 bp.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Caryophyllaceae).

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Makino (Caryophyllaceae) was determined. The genome was 151,831 bp long, consisting of a large single-copy region (83,875 bp) and a small single-copy region (17,591 bp) separated by two inverted repeats (25,331 bp). The plastome contained 124 genes; 82 encode proteins, 34 encode tRNA, and eight encode rRNA.

The complete chloroplast genome of monocot plant, .

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of is sequenced and analyzed. The chloroplast genome is 156,921 bp, with 36.7% GC content.

The complete chloroplast genome sequences of Iris sanguinea donn ex Hornem.

The complete chloroplast genome of Iris sanguinea was sequenced newly in this study. The total chloroplast genome size of I. sanguinea was 152 408 bp, its structure and gene contents were well conserved as typical chloroplast characteristics.
