Chloroplast Genome
Characterization of the complete Chloroplast genome of Correa carmen, a valuable winter-flowering shrub
Authors: Minghui Chen, Yuxia Zong, Shiping Cheng, Zhilu Zhang
Correa carmen is considered important because of its considerable ornamental and economic value. The most striking characteristic of C. carmen flowers is their long winter-flowering period. In the present study, we generated the first complete C. carmen chloroplast genome sequence based on Illumina paired-end sequencing data. .. Read More»

Development of primer pairs from diverse chloroplast genomes for use in plant phylogenetic research
Authors: Y.C. Yang, T.L. Kung, C.Y. Hu and S.F. Lin
Variation in the chloroplast DNA sequence is useful for plant phylogenetic studies. However, the number of variable sequences provided by chloroplast DNA for suggested genes or genomic regions in plant phylogenetic analyses is often inadequate. To identify conserved regions that can be used to design primers and amplify variab.. Read More»

Genetic variability among the chloroplast genomes of sugarcane (Saccharum spp) and its wild progenitor species Saccharum spontaneum L.
Authors: J.-R. Zhu, H. Zhou, Y.-B. Pan and X. Lu
A striking characteristic of modern sugarcane is that all sugarcane cultivars (Saccharum spp) share a common cytoplasm from S. officinarum. To explore the potential value of S. spontaneum cytoplasm, new Saccharum hybrids with an S. spontaneum cytoplasm were developed at the United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural ..

Development of novel chloroplast microsatellite markers for Ginkgo biloba
Authors: M. Xu, L.A. Xu, F.L. Cao, H.J. Zhang and F.X. Yu
Ginkgo biloba is considered to be a living fossil that can be used to understand the ancient evolutionary history of gymnosperms, but little attention has been given to the study of its population genetics, molecular phylogeography, and genetic resources assessment. Chloroplast simple sequence repeat (cpSSR) markers are powerful tools for genetic studies .. Read More»

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of cultivated Morus L. species
Authors: Q.L. Li, J.Z. Guo, N. Yan and C.C. Li
The complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of two cultivated species of Morus L. (Morus atropurpurea and Morus multicaulis) are reported and reconstructed in this study, and were compared with that of wild Morus mongolica. In M. atropurpurea, the circular genome is 159,113 bp in size and comprises two identical inverted.. Read More»
