The complete chloroplast genome of (Araceae).

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of , a species of the Araceae family, was characterized from the assembly of HiSeq (Illumina Co.) paired-end sequencing data. The chloroplast genome of was 165,289 bp in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 91,747 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 22,550 bp, and a pair of identical inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,496 bp.

The complete chloroplast genome of (Menispermaceae).

We generated the complete chloroplast genome sequence of , a species of the Menispermaceae family, and characterized from the assembly of Illumina HiSeq paired-end sequencing data. The total length of the chloroplast genome of was 162,787 bp with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 91,430 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 21,245 bp, and a pair of identical inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,056 bp. The total of 131 genes were annotated in the chloroplast genome of , including 85 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes.

Isolation of circadian-associated genes in Brassica rapa by comparative genomics with Arabidopsis thaliana.

Elucidation of the roles of circadian associated factors requires a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of circadian rhythms, control of flowering time through photoperiodic pathways, and photosensory signal transduction. In Arabidopsis, the APRR1 quintet, APRRs 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, are known as central oscillator genes. Other plants may share the molecular mechanism underlying the circadian rhythm.
