Comparative Chloroplast Genome Study of in China Sheds Light on Plastome Characterization and Phylogenetic Relationships.

Background: Mill., a morphologically diverse herbaceous perennial genus of Zingiberaceae, is distributed mainly in tropical to warm-temperate Asia. In China, species of have crucial medicinal, edible, and horticultural values; however, their phylogenetic relationships remain unclear.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of the TCP Gene Family Related to Developmental and Abiotic Stress in Ginger.

Ginger (), a widely consumed edible and medicinal plant, possesses significant nutritional and economic value. Abiotic stresses such as drought and low temperatures can impact the growth and development of ginger. The plant-specific transcription factor Teosinte branched1/cycloidea/proliferating cell factor () has progressively been identified in various plants for its role in regulating plant growth and development as well as conferring resistance to abiotic stresses.

Exploring the Heat Shock Transcription Factor () Gene Family in Ginger: A Genome-Wide Investigation on Evolution, Expression Profiling, and Response to Developmental and Abiotic Stresses.

Ginger is a valuable crop known for its nutritional, seasoning, and health benefits. However, abiotic stresses, such as high temperature and drought, can adversely affect its growth and development. Heat shock transcription factors () have been recognized as crucial elements for enhancing heat and drought resistance in plants.

Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, and Expression Analysis of GRAS Gene Family in Ginger ( Roscoe).

GRAS family proteins are one of the most abundant transcription factors in plants; they play crucial roles in plant development, metabolism, and biotic- and abiotic-stress responses. The GRAS family has been identified and functionally characterized in some plant species. However, this family in ginger ( Roscoe), a medicinal crop and non-prescription drug, remains unknown to date.

Complete chloroplast genomes provide insights into evolution and phylogeny of Zingiber (Zingiberaceae).

Background: The genus Zingiber of the Zingiberaceae is distributed in tropical, subtropical, and in Far East Asia. This genus contains about 100-150 species, with many species valued as important agricultural, medicinal and horticultural resources. However, genomic resources and suitable molecular markers for species identification are currently sparse.

Phylogeography and Population Genetics Analyses Reveal Evolutionary History of the Desert Resource Plant (Solanaceae).

Climactic oscillations during the Quaternary played a significant role in the formation of genetic diversity and historical demography of numerous plant species in northwestern China. In this study, we used 11 simple sequence repeats derived from expressed sequence tag (EST-SSR), two chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) fragments, and ecological niche modeling (ENM) to investigate the population structure and the phylogeographic history of , a plant species adapted to the climate in northwestern China. We identified 20 chloroplast haplotypes of which two were dominant and widely distributed in almost all populations.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of (Fabaceae): an IRLC legumes.

The inverted repeat-lacking clade (IRLC) species are characterized by the loss of an IR region in their plastomes, which has long been of great interest. is one of the members of the tribe Wisterieae, which belongs to Fabaceae and is well-known as IRLC. Here, we reported and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of using the genome skimming approach.

An overlooked dispersal route of Cardueae (Asteraceae) from the Mediterranean to East Asia revealed by phylogenomic and biogeographical analyses of Atractylodes.

Background And Aims: The East Asian-Tethyan disjunction pattern and its mechanisms of formation have long been of interest to researchers. Here, we studied the biogeographical history of Asteraceae tribe Cardueae, with a particular focus on the temperate East Asian genus Atractylodes DC., to understand the role of tectonic and climatic events in driving the diversification and disjunctions of the genus.

Out of the Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains: Phylogenomics, biogeography and diversification of Polygonatum Mill. (Asparagaceae) in the Northern Hemisphere.

Clarifying the process of formation of diversity hotspots and the biogeographic connection between regions is critical in understanding the impact of environmental changes on organismal evolution. Polygonatum (Asparagaceae) is distributed across the Northern Hemisphere. It displays an uneven distribution, with more than 50% of its species occurring in the Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains (HHM).

A new synonym of in China, based on morphological and molecular evidence.

PolygonatumkingianumCollett et Hemsl.var.grandifolium D.

The complete plastome and phylogeny of (Asparagaceae).

is a perennial herb in Asparagaceae, which has important ornamental and medicinal value. Here, we sequenced and characterized the plastome of from Sichuan, China. The plastome length of was 156,111 bp, including an 84,333 bp LSC, a 18,272 bp SSC and two 26,753 bp IRs.
