subsp. (Actinidiaceae) is an endemic medicinal species in China. Here, we first sequenced and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of subsp. . The chloroplast genome was 159,341 bp in length, containing a large single-copy of 88,351 bp and a small single-copy of 21,580 bp separated by a pair of identical inverted repeat regions of 24,705 bp each. A total of 131 genes were identified, including 84 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis of subsp. showed a relatively close relationship with subsp. .

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.

is one of the two genera in the large fern family Aspleniaceae. A previous study explored the molecular phylogeny of this genus using several chloroplast DNA fragments and identified three major clades, one of which is the monophyletic Old World clade with southwestern China as its diversity center. To date, there were only a few studies conducted on chloroplast genomes in or Aspleniaceae, limiting the understanding of the plastome features and its role in evolution of this group.

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.

Background: Numerous species of Ardisia are widely used for their medicinal and ornamental values in China. However, accurately identifying Ardisia species at the molecular level remains a challenge due to the morphological similarities among different species, the complexity of interspecific variation, and the limited availability of genetic markers. In this study, we reported 20 chloroplast genomes of Ardisia species from China and combined them with 8 previously published chloroplast genomes to conduct a comprehensive analysis for phylogenetic relationships and adaptive evolution.
