is a robust understorey plant with a highly restricted distribution in southeastern Australia. Here we report its complete plastid genome. The genome was 157,943 bp in length and comprises a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 27,028 bp separated by a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,699 bp, and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,188 bp. The GC content was 37.7%. In total, 132 genes were annotated including 81 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of the PCGs from aligned with those from 10 Asparagales representatives confirms that, based on these taxa, is sister to and sits within the Asteliaceae.

Background: The frequent communication between African and Southeast Asian (SEA) countries has led to the risk of imported malaria cases in the China-Myanmar border (CMB) region. Therefore, tracing the origins of new malaria infections is important in the maintenance of malaria-free zones in this border region. A new genotyping tool based on a robust mitochondrial (mt) /apicoplast (apico) barcode was developed to estimate genetic diversity and infer the evolutionary history of Plasmodium falciparum across the major distribution ranges.

The massive increase in the amount of plastid genome data have allowed researchers to address a variety of evolutionary questions within a wide range of plant groups. While plastome structure is generally conserved, some angiosperm lineages exhibit structural changes. Such is the case of the megadiverse order Asterales, where rearrangements in plastome structure have been documented.

Background: Vernicia montana and V. fordii are economically important woody oil species in the Euphorbiaceae that have great industrial oil and ornamental greening properties, however, the wild resources of Vernicia trees have been reduced because of their habitat destruction. Considering the diverse economic and ecological importance of Vernicia species, it is important to collect more molecular data to determine the genetic differences between V.

is a cosmopolitan aquatic plant genus that includes species with widespread global distributions. In previous studies, a revised molecular phylogeny was inferred using seven plastid loci from nine species across different geographic regions. By utilizing complete organellar genomes, we aim to provide a more comprehensive dataset that offers a robust phylogenetic signal for resolving species evolutionary relationships.
