A DNA barcode is a DNA fragment used to identify species. For land plants, DNA fragments
of plastid genome could be the primary consideration. Unfortunately, most of the plastid …

This review bridges functional and evolutionary aspects of plastid chromosome architecture
in land plants and their putative ancestors. We provide an overview on the structure and …

Polyploidy, the doubling of genomic content, is a widespread feature, especially among
plants, yet its macroevolutionary impacts are contentious. Traditionally, polyploidy has been …

The field of comparative plastid genomics has burgeoned during the past decade, largely
due to the availability of rapid, less expensive genome sequencing technologies. Currently …

Geraniaceae plastid genomes are highly rearranged, and each of the four genera already
sequenced in the family has a distinct genome organization. This study reports plastid …

Plastomes are very informative structures for comparative phylogenetic and evolutionary
analyses. We sequenced and analyzed the complete plastome of Campomanesia …

The increasing speed and decreasing cost of generating DNA sequence data has
transformed experimental approaches in many fields of biology. In this review we describe …

Ferns and lycophytes are ubiquitous and charismatic members of many terrestrial
ecosystems. Members of these lineages play key ecological roles in many of Earth's biomes …

Comprising about 82% of the extant fern species diversity, Polypodiales are generally
believed to have diversified in the Late Cretaceous. We estimated the divergence times of …

We investigated the complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of non-model Arabidopsis halleri
ssp. gemmifera and Arabidopsis lyrata ssp. petraea using Illumina paired-end sequencing to …
