Vivipary is a prominent feature of mangroves, allowing seeds to complete germination while attached to the mother plant, and equips propagules to endure and flourish in challenging coastal intertidal wetlands. However, vivipary-associated genetic mechanisms remain largely elusive. Genomes of two viviparous mangrove species and a non-viviparous inland relative were sequenced and assembled at the chromosome level.

- - The study sequenced seven Jasminum species, creating twelve complete chloroplast genomes that revealed sizes between 159 and 165 kb with a consistent number of genes across species, including protein-coding, tRNA, and rRNA genes.
- - Notable findings included significant genome size differences in J. nudiflorum due to increased forward repeats and mutations observed in the accD gene of J. sambac, highlighting potential mutation hotspots in specific genes.
- - Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated clear groupings among species, indicating genetic relationships and gene flow, solidifying the understanding of Jasminum's evolutionary patterns and supporting its monophyletic nature within the Oleaceae family.
