is a parasitic plant whose seeds are often mixed with the seeds of medicinal species. To facilitate the identification of seeds, we generated the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Engelm. using the Illumina MiSeq platform. The complete chloroplast genome is 86,380 bp long, with a 50,958 bp LSC region, a 7022 bp SSC region, and two inverted repeat (IRa and IRb) regions comprising 14,200 bp. The chloroplast genome consists of 85 unique genes, 57 protein-coding genes, four ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 24 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. Two gene families, NADH oxidoreductases and RNA polymerase-related genes, are absent in this genome. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that is closely related to and , with strong support values.

Background: Arnebiae Radix has long been used in traditional medicine for its pleiotropic properties. However, distinguishing Arnebiae Radix from its substitutes or closely related species has been challenging due to limited phenotypic characteristics.

Purpose: We aimed to identify the molecular markers for distinguishing Arnebiae Radix from its confusion species.

The green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a promising host organism for the production of valuable compounds. Engineering the Chlamydomonas chloroplast genome offers several advantages over the nuclear genome, including targeted gene insertion, lack of silencing mechanisms, potentially higher protein production due to multiple genome copies and natural substrate abundance for metabolic engineering. Tuneable expression systems can be used to minimize competition between heterologous production and host cell viability.

Comparative plastomic analysis of cultivated Dioscorea polystachya and its close relatives provides insights on the inter- and intraspecific phylogenies and potential wild origins of domestication.

Background: Dioscorea polystachya and its closely related species are original plants of the tuber crop "yam", which had been intensively use for medicinal and food purposes and widely cultivated in northern China and its surrounding areas with a long history. Many cultivars of these species are often confused with one another because of similar tuber morphology, however, conventional DNA barcoding faces practical limitations restricting the method to effectively identify closely related species. In addition, phylogenetic relationships among various cultivar groups of Chinese yam (D.

Background: Caryophyllaceae contains 100 genera and 3000 species, many of which are valuable both ecologically and economically. However, as past research has shown, the fundamental phylogenetic relationships of Caryophyllaceae are still debatable, and molecular dating based on chloroplast genomes has not been thoroughly examined for the entire family.

Methods: In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequences of Arenaria kansuensis Maxim.
