Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of (Brassicaceae).

(Hook. f. et Thoms.

Insights into the phylogenetic relationships and species boundaries of the complex (Tamaricaceae) based on the complete chloroplast genome.

plants are widely distributed in Eurasia and are helpful for windbreak and embankment protection. Current molecular evidence has led to controversy regarding species boundaries within the genus and interspecific phylogenetic relationships between three specific species-, and -which have remained unresolved. This study treated these three unresolved taxa as a species complex, named the complex.

A high-quality chromosome-level Eutrema salsugineum genome, an extremophile plant model.

Background: Eutrema salsugineum (2n = 14), a halophyte in the family Brassicaceae, is an attractive model to study abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Two versions of E. salsugineum genomes that previously reported were based on relatively short reads; thus, the repetitive regions were difficult to characterize.

A chromosome-level genome assembly for the tertiary relict plant Tetracentron sinense oliv. (trochodendraceae).

Tetracentron sinense and Trochodendron aralioides are two Tertiary relict species of large trees in the family Trochodendraceae with narrow distributions on the mainland and islands of eastern Asia. They belong to the order Trochodendrales, which is one of the four early-diverged eudicot lineages. These two relict species provide a good system in which to examine genomic changes that occurred as they survived during repeated climatic oscillations in the Quaternary.

A chromosome-level reference genome of the hornbeam, Carpinus fangiana.

Betulaceae, the birch family, comprises six living genera and over 160 species, many of which are economically valuable. To deepen our knowledge of Betulaceae species, we have sequenced the genome of a hornbeam, Carpinus fangiana, which belongs to the most species-rich genus of the Betulaceae subfamily Coryloideae. Based on over 75 Gb (~200x) of high-quality next-generation sequencing data, we assembled a 386.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of (Compositae).

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of , a flowering plant occurring in Hengduan Mountains with high altitudes, is determined in this study. The plastome is 152,584 bp in length, with one large single-copy region of 83,497 bp, one small single-copy region of 18,646 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,221 bp. It contains 123 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA, and 36 transfer RNA.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of (Compositae).

The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of , a common medicinal plant is widely distributed in South China. The plastome is 150,926 bp in length, with one large single-copy region of 94,588 bp, one small single-copy region of 18,130 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 24,852 bp. It contains 134 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA, and 37 transfer RNA.

(Brassicaceae), a new species from Chola Shan, Southwest China.

, a new high-elevation (4500-4600 m) species from Chola Shan, Sichuan (Southwest China), is described and illustrated. It is similar morphologically to but is readily distinguished by having oblong to elliptic or obovate to spatulate (vs. suborbicular to broadly ovate) leaves, glabrous (vs.

The genomes of two Eutrema species provide insight into plant adaptation to high altitudes.

Eutrema is a genus in the Brassicaceae, which includes species of scientific and economic importance. Many Eutrema species are montane and/or alpine species that arose very recently, making them ideal candidates for comparative studies to understand both ecological speciation and high-altitude adaptation in plants. Here we provide de novo whole-genome assemblies for a pair of recently diverged perennials with contrasting altitude preferences, the high-altitude E.

(Brassicaceae), a new species from Sichuan, southwest China.

(Brassicaceae), a new species from Hengduan Mountains in Sichuan Province, southwest China, is described, and its relationships to the closely related is discussed based on morphological, cytological, and molecular data. It is similar morphologically to but is readily distinguished by having robust (vs. slender), erect (vs.

Plastome phylogeny and early diversification of Brassicaceae.

Background: The family Brassicaceae encompasses diverse species, many of which have high scientific and economic importance. Early diversifications and phylogenetic relationships between major lineages or clades remain unclear. Here we re-investigate Brassicaceae phylogeny with complete plastomes from 51 species representing all four lineages or 5 of 6 major clades (A, B, C, E and F) as identified in earlier studies.

Phytochemical profiling of five medicinally active constituents across 14 Eutrema species.

Wasabi or Japanese horseradish (Eutrema japonicum) is both a traditional condiment and a medicinally important plant with diverse uses. Its medicinally active constituents appear to include five isothiocyanates, but their spatial variations in naturally occurring congeners are unknown. Thus, in this study we measured concentrations of these five active constituents in 20 populations of 14 species of Eutrema and one related species, Yinshania sinuata.

The complete chloroplast genome of Ostrya rehderiana.

The complete chloroplast sequence of Ostrya rehderiana is 159 347 bp in length, containing 85 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 31 transfer RNA genes. The circular genome exhibits a typical chloroplast genome structure comprising a large single copy region of 88 552 bp, a small single copy region of 18 941 bp and a pair of inverted repeats of 25 927 bp. The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome is 36.

The whole chloroplast genomes of two Eutrema species (Brassicaceae).

In this study, we determined the complete chloroplast genomes from two crucifer species of the Eutrema genus. The sizes of the two cp genomes were 153 948 bp (E. yunnanense) and 153 876 bp (E.

The complete chloroplast genome of Schrenkiella parvula (Brassicaceae).

Schrenkiella parvula is an Arabidopsis-related model species used here for studying plant stress tolerance. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. parvula has been reported for the first time.

The complete chloroplast genome of salt cress (Eutrema salsugineum).
