A new species of Gastrodia (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae, Gastrodieae), G. qingyunshanensis, is described and illustrated from Guangdong, China. It closely related to appendiculata C. S. Leou & N. J. Chung but can be distinguished by an urceolate (vs bell-like) dark brown pale greenish brown) perianth tube, the smaller petals (2.5 × 1.6 mm vs 4–5 5–6 mm), shape lip (oblong, 3×1.6mm ovate, 6–7×5mm), lack elevated calli at base petal having calli), appendage shorter than column equal...
Complex coumarins (CCs) represent characteristic metabolites found in Apiaceae plants, possessing significant medical value. Their essential functional role is likely as protectants against pathogens and regulators responding to environmental stimuli. Utilizing genomes transcriptomes from 34 including our recently sequenced Peucedanum praeruptorum, we conduct comprehensive phylogenetic analyses reconstruct the detailed evolutionary process of CC biosynthetic pathway Apiaceae. Our results...
The Ilex L. (hollies) genus of Aquifoliaceae shows high species diversity in tropical and subtropical regions Asia South America. Throughout the range genus, have been widely used beverage medicine production as ornamentals. Here, we assembled a high-quality, chromosome-level genome latifolia , which has extremely economic value because its useful secondary metabolite ornamental decorative red berries. 99.8% sequence was anchored to 20 pseudochromosomes, with total length 766.02 Mb scaffold...
Abstract Sinojackia Hu represents the first woody genus described by Chinese botanists, with all species classified as endangered ornamental plants endemic to China. Their characteristic spindle-shaped fruits confer high value plants, making them favored in gardens and parks. Nevertheless, likely pose a germination obstacle, contributing status of this lineage. Here we report chromosome-scale genome S. xylocarpa, explore mechanisms underlying its status, well population dynamics throughout...
<italic>Annona</italic> is a genus of family Annonaceae within the magnoliids and plays crucial role in revealing evolution magnolias. species provide important fruit resources. Here, we report chromosome-level genome assembly <italic>A. montana</italic>, an edible ornamental species. Integration with other genomes provides clear evidence that were sisters to eudicots, ASTRAL trees showed discordance phylogenetic position magnoliids, which might be caused by incomplete lineage sorting (ILS)....
Hoya is a remarkable genus with high horticultural ornamental value. In this study, we report and characterize the complete plastid genome sequence of carnosa. The chloroplast was 176,340 bp in length, which includes pair inverted repeat regions (IRs) 41,381 separated by large single copy region (LSC) 91,281 small (SSC) 2,297 bp. Interestingly, IRs expanded into SSC, result that most genes SSC were duplicated. This contained 110 genes, including 76 protein-coding 30 tRNA 4 rRNA genes....
The complete chloroplast genome of Cerber amanghas L., a species the tribe Plumerieae family Apocynaceae, is determined for first time here. 154,428 bp long, containing large single-copy region (LSC) 85,138 and small (SSC) 17,390 bp, which are separated by pair 25,950 long inverted repeat regions (IRs). It encodes total 115 genes, including 81 unique protein-coding 30 tRNA 4 rRNA genes.Phylogenetic analysis revealed that C.manghas member paraphyletic Apocynaceae closely related to Thevetia peruviana.
