Discocactus and Melocactus are representatives of Core Cactoideae II BCT clade (Browningieae, Cereeae and Trichocereeae clade) and consist of 14 and 50 species, respectively. Both genera occur in South America, but Melocactus ...

Background: Panicoideae are the second largest subfamily in Poaceae (grass family), with 212 genera and approximately 3316 species. Previous studies have begun to reveal relationships within the subfamily, but largely lack ...

A complete chloroplast genome is not yet available for numerous species of plants. Among the groups that lack plastome information is the clusioid clade (Malpighiales), which includes five families: Bonnetiaceae, Calophyllaceae, ...

Utricularia foliosa L., commonly known as leafy bladderwort, is a widespread aquatic carnivorous plant from the Lentibulariaceae family. The species of the Utricularia and Genlisea genera are known to possess the smallest ...

The transition to a heterotrophic lifestyle in angiosperms is characterized by convergent evolutionary changes. Plastid genome remodeling includes dramatic functional and physical reductions with the highest degrees observed ...

The barley chloroplast mutator (cpm) is an allele of a nuclear gene that when homozygous induces several types of cytoplasmically inherited chlorophyll deficiencies. In this work, a plastome Targeting Induced Local Lesions ...

The availaibilty of chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of Atropa belladonna, Nicotiana sylvestris, N tabacum, N tomentosiformis, Solanum bulbocastanum, S lycopersicum and S tuberosum, which are Solanaceae species, allowed ...
