, a shrub narrowly endemic to Yunnan, southwest China, is a monotypic genus of Sonerileae in Melastomataceae. The species, , is dwindling and is listed as 'Near Threatened (NT)' by IUCN Red List of China. Herein, we report the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence assembled from Illumina pair-end sequencing data. The complete chloroplast genome was 156,424 bp in length, which includes two inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26,776 bp each, which were separated by a large single copy region (LSC) 85,900 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) 16,972 bp. The chloroplast genome contained 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content in the chloroplast genome of was 37.0%. The phylogenomic analysis showed that is sister to .

Photosynthetic microalgae are promising green cell factories for the sustainable production of high-value chemicals and biopharmaceuticals. The chloroplast organelle is being developed as a chassis for synthetic biology as it contains its own genome (the plastome) and some interesting advantages, such as high recombinant protein titers and a diverse and dynamic metabolism. However, chloroplast engineering is currently hampered by the lack of standardized cloning tools and Design-Build-Test-Learn workflows to ease genomic and metabolic engineering.

Modulation of stomatal development and movement is a promising approach for creating water-conserving plants. Here, we identified and characterized the PagHCF106 gene of poplar (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa). The PagHCF106 protein localized predominantly to the chloroplast, and the PagHCF106 gene exhibited tissue-specific expression pattern.

Introduction: Mitochondria are essential organelles that provide energy for plants. They are semi-autonomous, maternally inherited, and closely linked to cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in plants. , a widely used medicinal plant from the Caprifoliaceae family, is rich in chlorogenic acid (CGA) and its analogues, which are known for their antiviral and anticancer properties.
