Serotyping has been the gold standard for identifying Salmonella, but it requires large amounts of standard antisera. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) has been applied to identify Salmonella serovars, but the recombination of 4-7 housekeeping genes and multiple analytic steps diminish its applicability. In the present study, we determined the complete sequences of the RNA polymerase beta subunit gene (rpoB) and 7 housekeeping genes (aroC, dnaN, hemD, hisD, purE, sucA, and thrA) for 76 strains of 33 Salmonella enterica serovars and conducted phylogenetic analyses together with the corresponding gene sequences of 24 reference strains registered in the GenBank database. Based on the phylogenetic analyses, 100 strains from 40 serovars and 91 strains from 37 serovars were classified into 60 rpoB (RST) and 49 multilocus sequence types (ST), respectively. The nucleotide similarities were 98.8-100% and 96.9-100% for the complete rpoB gene and the seven concatenated housekeeping genes, respectively. The strains of 35 and 30 serovars formed serovar-specific branches or clusters in the rpoB and housekeeping gene phylogenetic trees, respectively. Therefore, complete rpoB gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis may be a useful method for identifying Salmonella serovars that is a simpler, more cost-effective, and less time-consuming alternative or complementary method to MLST and conventional serotyping.

Background: The genus Impatiens, which includes both annual and perennial herbs, holds considerable ornamental, economic, and medicinal value. However, it posed significant challenges for taxonomic and systematic reconstruction. This was largely attributed to its high intraspecific diversity and low interspecific variation in morphological characteristics.

Background: Pueraria is an edible and medicinal raw material, which is of great value to the pharmaceutical and food industries. Nonetheless, due to morphological diversity and complex domestication history, the classification of Pueraria plants is ambiguous. As the varieties on the market are mixed, the species are difficult to distinguish, and their morphological characteristics are similar to the physical and chemical properties.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships among genera in the Mniaceae family, specifically focusing on the genera Mnium, Plagiomnium, and Pohlia, highlighting controversies in classification.
- - Researchers sequenced the chloroplast genomes of three Plagiomnium species, noting their sizes, structure, GC content, and observed genetic diversity using various analytical methods.
- - Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the Plagiomnium genus is closely related to Mnium while suggesting that Pohlia is not monophyletic; the findings support the overall monophyly of Mniaceae and a potential revision of Pohlia's classification.

Article Synopsis
- An unknown leaf spot disease affecting ginger was reported in Yongning District, Nanning, China, with symptoms including yellow spots and grey-white lesions, leading to leaf necrosis in 20-30% of plants.
- Pathogen isolation involved collecting diseased leaves, disinfecting them, and growing samples on nutrient agar, resulting in three identified Enterobacter isolates (GL1, GL2, GL3) that showed distinct biochemical characteristics.
- Genetic analysis of the isolates' 16S rDNA and other genes revealed a close match to Enterobacter quasiroggenkampii, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the concatenated sequences to further confirm their classification.
