Plant plastome are well studied due to their essential roles in photosynthesis and plant development. Comparative studies among plastome of closely related genera or families are limited, hindering our understanding of evolutionary changes and adaptation. This study presents a comparative analysis of 23 Caryophyllaceae plastome revealing a dynamic interplay of conserved and variable features.

The plastome analysis revealed a length of 153,383 bp, showing variation from conspecific taxa in China. Its standard structure comprises two IR regions (18,336 bp IRa and 18,336 bp IRb), an LSC region of 97,944 bp, and an SSC region of 18,767 bp, with a GC content of 37.

This study evaluated the Cd bioremediation potential of four PSB strains isolated from the contaminated soils of a municipal solid waste (MSW) discarding site (Guwahati, India). PSB strains were cultured in Pikovskaya (PVK) media, which led to higher acid phosphatase (ACP) activity and the release of organic acid.

Pongamia pinnata (also called Millettia pinnata), a non-edible oil yielding tree, is well known for its multipurpose benefits and acts as a potential source for medicine and biodiesel preparation. Due to increase in demand for cultivation, understanding of genetic diversity is an important parameter for further breeding and cultivation programme. Transposable elements (TEs) are a major component of plant genome but still, their evolutionary significance in Pongamia remains unexplored.
