The complete chloroplast genomes and comparative study of the two tung trees of Vernicia (Euphorbiaceae).

Background: Vernicia montana and V. fordii are economically important woody oil species in the Euphorbiaceae that have great industrial oil and ornamental greening properties, however, the wild resources of Vernicia trees have been reduced because of their habitat destruction. Considering the diverse economic and ecological importance of Vernicia species, it is important to collect more molecular data to determine the genetic differences between V.

Phased telomere-to-telomere reference genome and pangenome reveal an expansion of resistance genes during apple domestication.

The cultivated apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a cross-pollinated perennial fruit tree of great economic importance. Earlier versions of apple reference genomes were unphased, fragmented, and lacked comprehensive insights into the apple's highly heterozygous genome, which impeded advances in genetic studies and breeding programs.

Assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Isopyrum anemonoides (Ranunculaceae).

Ranunculaceae is a large family of angiosperms comprising 2500 known species-a few with medicinal and ornamental values. Despite this, only two mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of the family have been released in GenBank. Isopyrum anemonoides is a medicinal plant belonging to the family Ranunculaceae, and its chloroplast genome has recently been reported; however, its mitogenome remains unexplored.

Metabolomic analysis reveals key metabolites and metabolic pathways in under salt and drought stress.

Suaeda salsa is an important salt- and drought-tolerant plant with important ecological restoration roles. However, little is known about its underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms. Therefore, understanding the response mechanisms of plants to salt and drought stress is of great importance.

Phylogeography and Population Genetics Analyses Reveal Evolutionary History of the Desert Resource Plant (Solanaceae).

Climactic oscillations during the Quaternary played a significant role in the formation of genetic diversity and historical demography of numerous plant species in northwestern China. In this study, we used 11 simple sequence repeats derived from expressed sequence tag (EST-SSR), two chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) fragments, and ecological niche modeling (ENM) to investigate the population structure and the phylogeographic history of , a plant species adapted to the climate in northwestern China. We identified 20 chloroplast haplotypes of which two were dominant and widely distributed in almost all populations.

Complete chloroplast genome of (Solanaceae), a species native to South Africa.

, known as African boxthorn or boxthorn, is a shrub in the Solanaceae family. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of using genome skimming data. It had a circular mapping molecular with the length of 155,894 bp, with a large single-copy region (LSC, 86,536 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,406 bp) separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 25,476 bp).

Transcriptome Assembly, Gene Annotation and SSR Marker Development in the Moon Seed Genus (Menispermaceae).

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.

Development and characterization of SSR markers for based on genome skimming.

Premise: Polymorphic nuclear simple sequence repeat (nSSR) markers were developed for (Papaveraceae), a spring ephemeral native to eastern North America.

Methods And Results: Based on the genome skimming data of , a total of 240 nSSR primer pairs were designed for 80 loci from the assembled nuclear contigs. Of these primer pairs, 19 were selected for initial validation in four populations (80 individuals).

The first complete chloroplast genome of var. , with implication for the phylogeny of Ranunculaceae.

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.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of (Solanaceae).

is a precious desert plant with high medicinal and ecological values. It contains rich anthocyanins, which are safe natural pigments and could be used for natural food colorants. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of was assembled on the basis of next generation sequencing.
