is a woody liana with great medicinal value. In the current study, we assembled the first chloroplast (cp) genome of The whole chloroplast genome is 158,623 bp in length, with one large copy region (LSC: 88,879 bp), a small single copy region (SSC: 20,644 bp), and two inverted repeats (IR: 24,550 bp). The cp genome contains 114 unique genes with 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. In our phylogeny of Ranunculales, Papaveraceae is found to be the basal group of Ranunculales and is sister to .

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.

The Malvaceae family, comprising 9 subfamilies and 4,225 species, includes economically significant taxa, such as Ceiba pentandra, Gossypium ekmanianum, Gossypium stephensii, Kokia drynarioides, Talipariti hamabo, and Durio zibethinus. Chloroplast (cp) genome research is crucial for elucidating the evolutionary divergence and species identification within this family. In this study, we assembled and annotated cp genomes of six Malvaceae species, conducting comprehensive comparative genomic and phylogenomic analyses.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the rice bean (Vigna umbellata).

BMC Plant Biol

December 2024

Beijing Key Laboratory of Agricultural Genetic Resources and Biotechnology, Beijing Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences, Beijing, 100097, China.

Background: Rice bean (Vigna umbellata), an underrated legume crop, demonstrates strong adaptability to poor soil fertility and has significant potential to enhance global food security. It is valuable both as a vegetable and fodder crop due to its high protein content, essential fatty acids, and micronutrients. Despite the sequencing of a high-quality genome of rice bean, its mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence has not yet been reported.

Hunan Provincial key Laboratory of Ecological Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of Wulingshan Resources, College of Biology and Environmental Sciences, Jishou University, Jishou, Hunan, 416000, China.

Background And Aims: Nekemias is a small genus of the grape family, with nine species discontinuously distributed in temperate to subtropical zones of the Northern Hemisphere but mostly in East Asia. Previous phylogenetic studies on Nekemias have mainly based on a few chloroplast markers, and the phylogenetic framework and systematic relationships are still highly contested.

Methods: We carried out a systematic framework reconstruction of Nekemias and intra-generic reticulate evolutionary analyses based on extensive single-copy nuclear and chloroplast genomic data obtained by the Hyb-Seq approach, combining genome skimming and target enrichment.
