Revisiting the genus (Liliaceae) in Kazakhstan, the country with the richest tulip diversity worldwide.

The genus L., belonging to the Liliaceae family, has significant economic, horticultural, and ecological importance and is culturally revered in various regions worldwide. The total number of species, including 90-120 taxa, varies based on different sources.

Description and phylogenetic position of a new species, J.E.Jang, K.H.Lee & H.Y.Gil (Saxifragaceae), from the southern islands of South Korea.

We describe a new species, J.E.Jang, K.

The complete chloroplast genome of Vved. (Asphodelaceae), an endemic species of Kyrgyz Republic.

Vved. 1971 is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Asphodelaceae and an endemic species of the Kyrgyz Republic; however, its complete chloroplast genome sequence has not been reported. Here, we investigated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of using next-generation sequencing.

Comparative plastome analysis and taxonomic classification of snow lotus species (Saussurea, Asteraceae) in Central Asia and Southern Siberia.

Four species of Saussurea, namely S. involucrata, S. orgaadayi, S.

Characteristics of chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes and intracellular gene transfer in the Korean endemic shrub, Sophora koreensis Nakai (Fabaceae).

Sophora koreensis Nakai, an endemic species distributed only in the Korean Peninsula, is of great geographical, economic, and taxonomic importance. Although its complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence has been reported, its mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence has not yet been studied. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate its mt genome sequence and compare it with those reported for other Fabaceae species.

Genetic structure and geneflow of Malus across the Korean Peninsula using genotyping-by-sequencing.

This study was to understand the genetic structure and diversity of the Korean Malus species. We used genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technology to analyze samples of 112 individuals belonging to 18 populations of wild Malus spp. Using GBS, we identified thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the species analyzed.

Characterization and Dynamics of Intracellular Gene Transfer in Plastid Genomes of (Violaceae) and Order Malpighiales.

Functional gene transfer from organelles to the nucleus, known as intracellular gene transfer (IGT), is an ongoing process in flowering plants. The complete plastid genomes (plastomes) of two Ulleung island endemic violets, and , were characterized, revealing a lack of the plastid-encoded , , and genes. In addition, functional replacement of the three plastid-encoded genes in the nucleus was confirmed within the genus and the order Malpighiales.

Two Korean Endemic Chloroplast Genomes: Inversion, Reposition, Expansion of the Inverted Repeat Region, Phylogenetic Analysis, and Nucleotide Substitution Rates.

Previous studies on the chloroplast genome in focused on the chloroplast structure within Anemoneae. The chloroplast genomes of were sequenced to provide information for studies on phylogeny and evolution. Two Korean endemic chloroplast genomes ( and ) range from 159,170 to 159,532 bp, containing 134 identical genes.

First report of complete chloroplast genome sequence of monotypic genus (Saxifragaceae) in North East Asia.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of , one of endemic species of Eastern Asia, was determined. The chloroplast genome was 157,147 bp in length with large single-copy (87,703 bp), small single-copy (18,268 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (25,588 bp). In total, 131 genes were encoded, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes.

Origin of the critically endangered endemic species Scrophularia takesimensis (Scrophulariaceae) on Ulleung Island, Korea: implications for conservation.

Scrophularia takesimensis is a critically endangered endemic species of Ulleung Island, Korea. A previous molecular phylogenetic study based on nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences with very limited sampling suggested that it is most closely related to the clade comprising S. alata and S.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of , an endemic orchid of Korea.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of was determined and analyzed in this study. The chloroplast genome size is 153,165 bp in length with 36.9% GC content.

The plastome sequence of Ulleung Rowan, (Rosaceae), a new endemic species on Ulleung Island, Korea.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of , a recently described endemic species to Ulleung Island of Korea, was determined. The genome size was 159,632 bp in length with 36.5% GC content.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Asteraceae), a vulnerable endemic species of Korea.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of , one of vulnerable and endemic species of Korea, was determined. The genome size was 152,488 bp in length with 37.7% GC content.

Viola woosanensis, a recurrent spontaneous hybrid between V. ulleungdoensis and V. chaerophylloides (Violaceae) endemic to Ulleung Island, Korea.

Ulleung Island is an oceanic volcanic island in Korea, which has never been connected to the adjacent continent. Previous studies highlighted Ulleung Island as an excellent system to study the pattern and process of early stages of flowering plant evolutions on oceanic island. The predominant mode of speciation in flowering plants on Ulleung Island appears to be anagenesis.
