This article reviews several proposed mechanisms of molecular evolution operating in non-
coding regions of the chloroplast genome and argues that awareness and identification of …

The systematics of grasses has advanced through applications of plastome phylogenomics,
although studies have been largely limited to subfamilies or other subgroups of Poaceae …

This fourth edition of Plant Systematics is completely revised and updated. It incorporates
the updated International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants (Shenzhen …

Common wheat (Triticum aestivum) has for decades been a textbook example of the
evolution of a major crop species by allopolyploidization. Using a sophisticated extension of …

Here, we report a completely sequenced plastome using Illumina/Solexa sequencing-by-
synthesis (SBS) technology. The plastome of Magnolia kwangsiensis Figlar & Noot. is 159 …

Understanding the classification and biosystematics of species in Triticeae Dumort., an
economically important tribe in the grass family (Poaceae), is not an easy task, particularly …

Interest in the use of low-copy nuclear genes for phylogenetic analyses of plants has grown
rapidly, because highly repetitive genes such as those commonly used are limited in …

In this paper we included a very broad representation of grass family diversity (84% of tribes
and 42% of genera). Phylogenetic inference was based on three plastid DNA regions rbcL …

To analyze reasons for inconclusive results of earlier chloroplast phylogenies in the grass
genus Hordeum, we established a genealogy of chloroplast haplotypes by sequencing the …

Retroviruses and LTR retrotransposons comprise two long-terminal repeats (LTRs)
bounding a central domain that encodes the products needed for reverse transcription …
