▪ Abstract The disjunct distributions of morphologically similar plants between eastern Asia
and eastern North America have fascinated botanists and biogeographers since the …

Chloroplast microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (cpSSRs), are typically
mononucleotide tandem repeats. When located in the noncoding regions of the chloroplast …

Phylogenetic relationships in Rosaceae have long been problematic because of frequent
hybridisation, apomixis and presumed rapid radiation, and their historical diversification has …

Although the chloroplast genome contains many noncoding regions, relatively few have
been exploited for interspecific phylogenetic and intraspecific phylogeographic studies. In …

Background Camellia is an economically and phylogenetically important genus in the family
Theaceae. Owing to numerous hybridization and polyploidization, it is taxonomically and …

The coding region of the matK gene and two intergenic spacers, psbA‐trnH and trnL (UAA)‐
trnF (GAA), of cpDNA were sequenced to study phylogenetic relationships of 32 Paeonia …

Chloroplast DNA sequences are a primary source of data for plant molecular systematic
studies. A few key papers have provided the molecular systematics community with …

Salvia miltiorrhiza is an important medicinal plant with great economic and medicinal value.
The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Salvia miltiorrhiza, the first sequenced …

Abstract Background Polystachya Hook. is a large pantropical orchid genus (c. 240 species)
distributed in Africa, southern Asia and the Americas, with the center of diversity in Africa …

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs), consisting of tandemly repeated multiple copies of mono-,
di-, tri-, or tetranucleotide motifs, are ubiquitous in eukaryotic genomes and are frequently …
