The advances accelerated by next‐generation sequencing and long‐read sequencing
technologies continue to provide an impetus for plant phylogenetic study. In the past …

Background The molecular evolution of organellar genomes in angiosperms has been
studied extensively, with some lineages, such as parasitic ones, displaying unique …

The plastid and nuclear genomes of parasitic plants exhibit deeply altered architectures, 1–
13 whereas the few examined mitogenomes range from deeply altered to conventional. 14 …

The plastid genome (plastome) is highly conserved in both gene order and content and has
a lower mutation rate than the nuclear genome. However, the plastome is more variable in …

Inquiline ants are highly specialized and obligate social parasites that infiltrate and exploit
colonies of closely related species. They have evolved many times convergently, are often …

Parasitic plants have evolved to be subtly or severely dependent on host plants to complete
their life cycle. To provide new insights into the biology of parasitic plants in general, we …

The plastid organelle is essential for many vital cellular processes and the growth and
development of plants. The availability of a large number of complete plastid genomes could …

Background The lifestyle transition from autotrophy to heterotrophy often leads to extensive
degradation of plastomes in parasitic plants, while the evolutionary trajectories of plastome …

The hemiparasitic European mistletoe, Viscum album L.(Viscaceae), displays a rapid and
remarkable expansion into natural and urban ecosystems in Ukraine. The monitoring and …
