The chromosome-level genome assembly of Cananga odorata provides insights into its evolution and terpenoid biosynthesis.

Cananga odorata is known as a natural perfume tree of the Annonaceae family in Magnoliales. However, its phylogenetic position and the molecular mechanisms involved in the biosynthesis of the floral volatile organic compounds (VOCs) remain unclear. Here, by combining a variety of sequencing platforms, we present a telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome of C.

 (Fagaceae), a new stone oak from northern Sumatra and its role as an important resource for critically endangered orangutans.

A new species of stone oak, Harapan, W.H.Tan, Nurainas & Strijk from South Tapanuli, North Sumatra, Indonesia is described.

 (Fagaceae), a new species from Royal Belum (Perak) in Peninsular Malaysia.

A new species from the Fagaceae family, Tan & Strijk, is described from Royal Belum State Park in Peninsular Malaysia. Here, we provide technical illustrations, colour images and a description of its conservation status and the collecting locality, in addition to a comparative analysis with other species in the region. The solitary nut of has a morphologically unique cupule, lined with rows of thick coral-like spines not seen in other species.

An integrated high-resolution mapping shows congruent biodiversity patterns of Fagales and Pinales.

The documentation of biodiversity distribution through species range identification is crucial for macroecology, biogeography, conservation, and restoration. However, for plants, species range maps remain scarce and often inaccurate. We present a novel approach to map species ranges at a global scale, integrating polygon mapping and species distribution modelling (SDM).

Genomics of the critically endangered monotypic genus Sinopora: the plastome of (Lauraceae).

is a critically endangered endemic tree species restricted to Hong Kong. Here we report its plastome sequence. The plastome was 158,612 bp in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 89,405 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,205 bp, separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,498 bp.

Plastome of and comparison of genomic diversity amongst selected species using genome skimming.

The genus L. contains several of the most economically important species for timber production in the Northern Hemisphere. It was one of the first genera described, but genetic diversity at a global scale within and amongst oak species remains unclear, despite numerous regional or species-specific assessments.

Exploring evolution and diversity of Chinese Dipterocarpaceae using next-generation sequencing.

Tropical forests, a key-category of land ecosystems, are faced with the world's highest levels of habitat conversion and associated biodiversity loss. In tropical Asia, Dipterocarpaceae are one of the economically and ecologically most important tree families, but their genomic diversity and evolution remain understudied, hampered by a lack of available genetic resources. Southern China represents the northern limit for Dipterocarpaceae, and thus changes in habitat ecology, community composition and adaptability to climatic conditions are of particular interest in this group.

The first complete chloroplast genome of a major mangrove species Sm. and its implications on conservation efforts.

Sm. is one of the most widely distributed mangrove species worldwide. In this study, the whole chloroplast genome of was assembled for the first time not only in , but also for a member of the mangrove plant community.

A taxonomic study of complex based on morphology and DNA barcodes of classic and next generation sequences.

The taxonomy of and its relatives in Vietnam and Cambodia have been revised based on evidence obtained from field observations, morphological comparison of herbarium specimens and molecular analyses using both classic and next generation DNA markers. Based on Bayesian inference using L, K and ITS regions and Neighbour-joining tree using genome-wide sequences amplified with multiplexed inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers (MIG-seq), the authors recognised ten species in the complex in Vietnam and Cambodia, three of which are newly described in this paper: , and . These new species are all phenotypically similar to in having lanceolate to oblanceolate leaf shape, upper 4-5/6-serrated leaf margin, acute or acuminate leaf apex and bracts of cupule arranged in 5-9 rings but distinguished both morphologically and phylogenetically.

The first complete chloroplast sequence of a major tropical timber tree in the Meranti family: (Dipterocarpaceae).

Dipterocarpaceae are one of the economically most important native tree families for timber production in tropical Asia. We report the complete chloroplast genome of (Griff.) Symington, the first in the family Dipterocarpaceae.

The chloroplast genome sequence of (Magnoliaceae), an ornamental tree species.

Magnoliaceae are both economically and ornamentally important trees. Despite extensive studies in this family, the taxonomy of L. remains unclear, as well as the taxonomical status of .

Comparison of intraspecific, interspecific and intergeneric chloroplast diversity in Cycads.

Cycads are among the most threatened plant species. Increasing the availability of genomic information by adding whole chloroplast data is a fundamental step in supporting phylogenetic studies and conservation efforts. Here, we assemble a dataset encompassing three taxonomic levels in cycads, including ten genera, three species in the genus Cycas and two individuals of C.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Castanopsis concinna (Fagaceae), a threatened species from Hong Kong and South-Eastern China.

The complete chloroplast genome of Castanopsis concinna (Champion ex Bentham) A. de Candolle, an endemic species to Hong Kong and southeastern China, was determined in this study. Due to logging, historical habitat loss, and fragmentation, conservation efforts for C.
