Chloroplasts play a crucial role in sustaining life on earth. The availability of over 800
sequenced chloroplast genomes from a variety of land plants has enhanced our …

ABSTRACT DNA barcoding is currently a widely used and effective tool that enables rapid
and accurate identification of plant species; however, none of the available loci work across …

Chloroplast genomes supply indispensable information that helps improve the phylogenetic
resolution and even as organelle‐scale barcodes. Next‐generation sequencing …

Background Paphiopedilum is the largest genus of slipper orchids. Previous studies showed
that the phylogenetic relationships of this genus are not well resolved, and sparse taxon …

Orchidaceae is the 3rd largest family of angiosperms, an evolved young branch of
monocotyledons. This family contains a number of economically-important horticulture and …

Standard plant DNA barcodes based on 2–3 plastid regions, and nrDNA ITS show variable
levels of resolution, and fail to discriminate among species in many plant groups. Genome …

Cymbidium is an orchid genus that has undergone rapid radiation and has high ornamental,
economic, ecological and cultural importance, but its classification based on morphology is …

In order to understand the evolution of the orchid plastome, we annotated and compared
124 complete plastomes of Orchidaceae representing all the major lineages in their …

Global efforts have seen the world's plant genetic resources (PGRs) conserved in about
1625 germ plasm repositories. Utility of these resources is important in increasing the …

Abstract The NAD (P) H dehydrogenase complex is encoded by 11 ndh genes in plant
chloroplast (cp) genomes. However, ndh genes are truncated or deleted in some autotrophic …
