transcriptome assembly using Illumina sequencing and development of EST-SSR markers in a monoecious herb Linn.

Background: Linn. is a widespread macrophyte in Asia and southeast Europe and cultivated in parts of Asia. Although a few genomic studies have been conducted for var.

Intra-individual heteroplasmy in the plastid genome (Gentianaceae).

Chloroplasts are typically inherited from the female parent and are haploid in most angiosperms, but rare intra-individual heteroplasmy in plastid genomes has been reported in plants. Here, we report an example of plastome heteroplasmy and its characteristics in (Gentianaceae). The plastid genome of is 145,757 bp in size and is missing parts of gene when compared with other species.
