Polymorphism of nuclear DNA in selected species of sect. .

This paper presents the results of research on nuclear DNA polymorphism in six apomictic species of marsh dandelions sect. The studies demonstrated the existence of clear genetic differences between species and the existence of nuclear DNA polymorphism within each of the studied species.

The Increase of Simple Sequence Repeats during Diversification of Marchantiidae, An Early Land Plant Lineage, Leads to the First Known Expansion of Inverted Repeats in the Evolutionarily-Stable Structure of Liverwort Plastomes.

The chloroplast genomes of liverworts, an early land plant lineage, exhibit stable structure and gene content, however the known resources are very limited. The newly sequenced plastomes of species revealed an increase of simple sequence repeats during the diversification of complex thalloid liverwort lineage. The presence of long TA motifs forced applying the long-read nanopore sequencing method for proper and dependable plastome assembly, since the length of dinucleotide repeats overcome the length of Illumina short reads.
