, a wild medicinal and edible Malvaceae species, lacked genomic data until now. In this study, we presented its first complete chloroplast genome (158,793 bp), featuring a quadripartite structure: 87,215 bp LSC, 20,766 bp SSC, and two 25,406 bp IRs. The genome contains 129 genes (85 protein-coding, 36 tRNA, 8 rRNA) with 37.1% GC content. Phylogenetic analysis revealed two , with grouping alongside , and . This study provides essential molecular data for 's evolutionary relationships and diversification, enabling future comparative genomic research in this genus.

Background: The genus Caragana, known for its adaptability and high forage value, is commonly planted to rehabilitate barren land and prevent desertification. Several Caragana species are also used for medicinal purposes. Analysis of synonymous codon usage bias and their primary influencing factors in chloroplast genomes aims to provide insights into molecular research and germplasm innovation for Caragana plants.

Background: The illegal trade of tropical timber constitutes a major and persistent environmental problem. Since the detection of fraud in trade documents remains challenging, forensic tools that can independently trace timber origin are needed. In this study, we evaluated the potential of the chloroplast genome (plastome) as a genetic tool to verify the claimed species and geographic origin of timber from Azobé (Lophira alata), an intensively exploited and threatened tropical tree species.

Background: The genus Solanum is a diverse group of flowering plants with significant economic importance. Within this genus, the subgenus Leptostemonum, comprising spiny solanums, is particularly noteworthy due to its high species diversity and endemism. Solanum ensifolium, a member of this subgenus, is a critically endangered species endemic to Puerto Rico and known locally as erubia.
