The plastome of land plants is often considered to be highly conserved in sequence,
structure, and content. This is particularly true for nonvascular land plants, for which few …

Plant cells possess two more genomes besides the central nuclear genome: the
mitochondrial genome and the chloroplast genome (or plastome). Compared to the gigantic …

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 …

The nucleotide sequence of Korean ginseng (Panax schinseng Nees) chloroplast genome
has been completed (AY582139). The circular double-stranded DNA, which consists of …

Geraniaceae plastid genomes (plastomes) have experienced a remarkable number of
genomic changes. The plastomes of Erodium texanum, Geranium palmatum, and Monsonia …

The chloroplast genome of Pelargonium× hortorum has been completely sequenced. It
maps as a circular molecule of 217,942 bp and is both the largest and most rearranged land …

In an effort to obtain a solid and balanced approximation of global fern phylogeny to serve
as a tool for addressing large‐scale evolutionary questions, we assembled and analyzed …

Background The number of completely sequenced plastid genomes available is growing
rapidly. This array of sequences presents new opportunities to perform comparative …

Barcodes are short segments of DNA that can be used to uniquely identify an unknown
specimen to species, particularly when diagnostic morphological features are absent. These …
