Plastome (plastid genome) sequences provide valuable information for understanding the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history of plants. Although rapid development high-throughput sequencing technology has led to an explosion plastome sequences, annotation remains a significant bottleneck plastomes. User-friendly batch multiple plastomes is urgent need.We introduce Plastid Genome Annotator (PGA), standalone command line tool that can perform rapid, accurate, flexible newly...

The cypress family (Cupressaceae) possesses highly rearranged plastomes that lack a pair of large inverted repeats typically found in land plants. A few species have been reported to contain isomeric plastomes, but whether the existence is ubiquitous remains be investigated with broader taxon sampling. In this study, we sequenced complete ten Cupressoideae, largest subfamily. Cupressoideae showed relatively accelerated rates substitutions at both nonsynonymous and synonymous sites as...

Abstract Long-branch attraction (LBA) is a major obstacle in phylogenetic reconstruction. The relationships among Juniperus (J), Cupressus (C) and the Hesperocyparis-Callitropsis-Xanthocyparis (HCX) subclades of Cupressoideae are controversial. Our initial analyses plastid protein-coding gene matrix revealed both J C with much longer stem branches than those HCX, so their sister may be attributed to LBA. We used multiple measures including data filtering modifying, evolutionary model...

Plastid genomes (plastomes) of parasitic plants undergo dramatic reductions as the need for photosynthesis relaxes. Here, we report plastome only known heterotrophic gymnosperm Parasitaxus usta (Podocarpaceae). With 68 unique genes, which 33 encode proteins, 31 tRNAs, and four rRNAs in a 85.3-kb length, has both smallest functionally least capable plastid genome gymnosperms. Although heterotroph retains chlorophyll, all genes are physically or lost, making photosynthetic energy gain...

The plastome (plastid genome) represents an indispensable molecular data source for studying plant phylogeny and evolution. Although size is much smaller than that of nuclear genome, accurate efficient annotation use sequences are not simple tasks. Therefore, a streamlined phylogenomic pipeline from to phylogenetic reconstruction comparative genomics would greatly facilitate research using this important organellar genome. Here we develop PlastidHub, new web application primarily uses novel...

Eragrostideae Stapf, the second-largest tribe in Chloridoideae (Poaceae), is a taxonomically complex tribe. In this study, chloroplast genomes of 13 species were newly sequenced and used to resolve phylogenetic relationships within Eragrostideae. Including seven reported from Eragrostideae, genome structure, number type genes, codon usage, repeat sequences 20 analyzed. The length these varied 130,773 bp 135,322 bp. These showed typical quadripartite including large single-copy region...

Invertase (INV) irreversibly catalyzes the conversion of sucrose into glucose and fructose, playing important role in plant development stress tolerance. However, functions INV genes wheat have been less studied. In this study, a total 126 TaINV were identified using genome-wide search method, which could be classified five classes (TaCWI-α, TaCWI-β, TaCI-α, TaCI-β, TaVI) based on phylogenetic relationship. A 101 TaINVs collinear with their ancestors synteny analysis, we speculated that...
