A phylogenomic study of Iridaceae Juss. based on complete plastid genome sequences.

The plastid genome has proven to be an effective tool for examining deep correlations in plant phylogenetics, owing to its highly conserved structure, uniparental inheritance, and limited variation in evolutionary rates. Iridaceae, comprising more than 2,000 species, includes numerous economically significant taxa that are frequently utilized in food industries and medicines and for ornamental and horticulture purposes. Molecular studies on chloroplast DNA have confirmed the position of this family in the order Asparagales with non-asparagoids.

Characterization of the complete plastid genome of Korean endemic, Nakai (Lamiaceae).

Nakai is a Korean endemic species in Lamiaceae. In spite of its importance, genomic studies are not performed on this species. Here, we report the complete plastid genome sequences of , which will provide valuable information for its natural conservation and future studies for the plastid genome evolution.
