The First Complete Chloroplast Genome of : Genome Characterization and Phylogenetic Diversity.

is an ornamental flowering plant belonging to the family Campanulaceae. The complete chloroplast genome of was obtained using Illumina HiSeq X and Oxford Nanopore (Nanopore GridION) platforms. The chloroplast genome exhibited a typical circular structure with a total length of 169,341 bp, comprising a large single-copy region of 102,323 bp, a small single-copy region of 7744 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRa/IRb) of 29,637 bp each.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of (Apiales: Apiaceae).

has a long history of use in traditional oriental medicine. The first complete mitochondrial genome sequences of were 463,792 bp based on 494,582 aligned reads. A total of 51 genes was annotated including 32 protein-coding genes, 16 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes.

The multipartite mitochondrial genome of (Gentianales: Apocynaceae).

is a Chinese herbal medicine species in the family Apocynaceae. The mitochondrial genome of has heteroplasmy and consists of two chromosomes (chromosomes I and II), the lengths of which are 614,836 and 426,495 nucleotides. The multipartite mitochondrial genome encodes 57 genes, including 37 protein-coding genes, 17 transfer RNA genes, and three ribosomal RNA genes.

The multipartite mitochondrial genome of (Caryophyllales: Polygonaceae).

is an important Oriental herb belonging to the family Polygonaceae. The mitochondrial genome consists of two circular chromosomes that were 200,352- and 112,098-nucleotides long. The mitochondrial genome encodes 57 genes, including 34 protein-coding genes, 20 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and three ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes.

A Multilayered Screening Method for the Identification of Regulatory Genes in Rice by Agronomic Traits.

We developed a multilayered screening method that integrates both genome and transcriptome data to effectively identify regulatory genes in rice (). We tested our method using eight rice accessions that differed in three important nutritional and agricultural traits, anthocyanin biosynthesis, amylose content, and heading date. In the genome resequencing of eight rice accessions with 24 RNA sequencing experiments, 98% of the preprocessed reads could be uniquely mapped to the reference genome, resulting in the identification of 42,699 unique transcripts.

A multistep screening method to identify genes using evolutionary transcriptome of plants.

We introduced a multistep screening method to identify the genes in plants using microarrays and ribonucleic acid (RNA)-seq transcriptome data. Our method describes the process for identifying genes using the salt-tolerance response pathways of the potato (Solanum tuberosum) plant. Gene expression was analyzed using microarrays and RNA-seq experiments that examined three potato lines (high, intermediate, and low salt tolerance) under conditions of salt stress.

A Multi-Layered Screening Method to Identify Plant Regulatory Genes.

We used a seven-step process to identify genes involved in glucosinolate biosynthesis and metabolism in the Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa). We constructed an annotated data set with 34,570 unigenes from B. rapa and predicted 11,526 glucosinolate-related candidate genes using expression profiles generated across nine stages of development on a 47k-gene microarray.
