, belonging to the genus , has heart-shaped leaves and pale purple flowers, and it is widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, including Europe, North America, and Asia. In this study, the plastid genome of was sequenced and phylogenetic analysis was performed on 11 plastid genomes. The length of the plastid genome length of was 156,774 bp, and it was identified as having a typical quadripartite structure with a large single-copy region (85,930 bp), a small single-copy region (17,982 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (26,431 bp each).

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of was determined by Illumina pair-end sequencing. The complete cp genome was 166,331 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 100,034 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 7781 bp, which were separated by a pair of 29,258 bp inverted repeats (IRs). A total of 113 unique genes were annotated, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes.

The Campanulaceae comprises approximately 2300 species that are distributed among five major lineages: Campanuloideae, Cyphioideae, Cyphocarpoideae, Lobelioideae, and Nemacladoideae. Of these, the Campanuloideae, a primarily Old World clade, has the largest diversity in East Asia. In this study, we reconstruct the phylogeny of East Asian Campanuloideae based on one nuclear gene (i.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of , rare plant to Korea, was determined in this study. The total genome size was 160,410 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,514 bp, which were separated by a large single copy (LSC) and small single copy (SSC) of 88,627 bp and 18,755 bp, respectively. The overall GC contents of the chloroplast genome were 37.

Cyclotides are a family of plant proteins that are characterized by a cyclic backbone and a knotted disulfide topology. Their cyclic cystine knot (CCK) motif makes them exceptionally resistant to thermal, chemical, and enzymatic degradation. By disrupting cell membranes, the cyclotides function as host defense peptides by exhibiting insecticidal, anthelmintic, antifouling, and molluscicidal activities.

We performed chloroplast genome sequencing and comparative analysis of two Rutaceae species, Zanthoxylum schinifolium (Korean pepper tree) and Z. piperitum (Japanese pepper tree), which are medicinal and culinary crops in Asia. We identified more than 837 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 103 insertions/deletions (InDels) based on a comparison of the two chloroplast genomes and developed seven DNA markers derived from five tandem repeats and two InDel variations that discriminated between Korean Zanthoxylum species.

The genus comprises ~150 species, including and , two important crops with high nutritional value. To elucidate the phylogenetic relationship between the two species, the complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of these species were obtained by next generation sequencing. We performed comparative analysis of the sequences and, using InDel markers, inferred phylogeny and genetic diversity of the genus.

We report the complete chloroplast genomes of three Adenophora species, and analyzed these compared them to five published Campanuloid plastomes. The total genome length of Adenophora divaricata, Adenophora erecta, and Adenophora stricta ranged from 159,759 to 176,331 bp. Among the eight Campanuloid species, many inversions were found to be only in the LSC region.

Phylogenetic studies were conducted to evaluate interspecific relationships in Osmorhiza (Apiaceae: Apioideae) using sequences of the ITS regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA, the chloroplast ndhF gene, and two noncoding regions (trnL intron, and trnL [UAA] 3' exon-trnF [GAA] intergenic spacer). All data sets suggest the monophyly of the New World taxa and showed that Osmorhiza aristata from Asia is relatively divergent from other members of the genus, even though it is morphologically similar to the eastern North American O. claytonii and O.
