New Insights into the Diversity of Mitochondrial Plastid DNA.

The mitochondrial plastid DNAs (MTPTs) in seed plants were reported more than 40 years ago and exhibited a high diversity regarding gene content, quantity, and size. However, the mechanism that resulted in the current diversity of MTPTs in angiosperms has not been fully discovered. In this study, we sequenced and characterized the complete organelle genomes of Limonia acidissima L.

The complete chloroplast genome of L. (Vernonioideae, Asteraceae), a useful ethnomedicinal plant in asia.

L. is a useful medicinal plant and has been used as a traditional medicine for various diseases in Asia. In this study, we completed and characterized the chloroplast genome of of which the length was 152,375 bp.

The complete chloroplast genome of colchicine plants (Colchicum autumnale L. and Gloriosa superba L.) and its application for identifying the genus.

The complete chloroplast genome of two colchicine medicinal plants is reported for the first time. Deletion of ycf 15 gene occurred only in Colchicum but not in Gloriosa and suggests this as a potential marker for delineating the two species. Colchicum autumnale L.
