Throughout the years, most plant genomic studies were focused on nuclear chromosomes.
Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) has largely been neglected for decades since its …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), or lateral gene transfer, is the non-sexual movement of
genetic information between genomes. It has played a pronounced part in bacterial and …

Introns are ubiquitous in eukaryotic genomes and have long been considered as 'junk
RNA'but the huge energy expenditure in their transcription, removal, and degradation …

Abstract Background Among the Mangifera species, mango (Mangifera indica) is an
important commercial fruit crop. However, very few studies have been conducted on the …

As representative of the early-divergent groups of angiosperms, Saxifragales is extremely
divergent in morphology, comprising 15 families. Within this order, our previous case studies …

Intracellular gene transfers (IGTs) between the nucleus and organelles, including plastids
and mitochondria, constantly reshape the nuclear genome during evolution. Despite the …

Background Plant mitogenomes vary widely in size and genomic architecture. Although
hundreds of plant mitogenomes of angiosperm species have already been sequence …

Endophytic bacteria would become a potential source of metabolites similar to the host
plants. Clove (Syzygium aromaticum L.) leaf extract was proven to have antiaging and …

Background Caryodaphnopsis, a group of tropical trees (ca. 20 spp.) in the family
Lauraceae, has an amphi-Pacific disjunct distribution: ten species are distributed in …

Calophyllum soulattri Burm. f. is traditionally used to treat skin infections and reduce
rheumatic pain, yet genetic and genomic studies are still limited. Here, we present the first …
