Sequencing of Chloroplast Genome of <i>Cucumis melo</i> L. var. <i>agrestis Naud.</i>

The complete chloroplast genome of Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum using Illumina sequencing.

Chloroplast (cp) genome sequences provide a valuable source for DNA barcoding. Molecular phylogenetic studies have concentrated on DNA sequencing of conserved gene loci. However, this approach is time consuming and more difficult to implement when gene organization differs among species. Here we report the complete re-sequencing of the cp genome of Capsicum pepper (Capsicum annuum var. glabrius...

Shallow Whole Genome Sequencing for the Assembly of Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Arachis hypogaea L.

Multiplexed Fragaria Chloroplast Genome Sequencing

A method to sequence multiple chloroplast genomes using ultra high throughput sequencing technologies was recently described. Complete chloroplast genome sequences can resolve phylogenetic relationships at low taxonomic levels and identify informative point mutations and indels. The objective of this research was to sequence multiple Fragaria chloroplast genomes using the Illumina Genome Analyz...

Illumina sequencing of the chloroplast genome of common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.)

Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) is the most widespread weed and the most dangerous pollen allergenic plant in large areas of the temperate zone. Since herbicides like PSI and PSII inhibitors have their target genes in the chloroplast genome, understanding the chloroplast genome may indirectly support the exploration of herbicide resistance and development of novel control methods. T...

Exploring the History of Chloroplast Capture in Arabis Using Whole Chloroplast Genome Sequencing

Chloroplast capture occurs when the chloroplast of one plant species is introgressed into another plant species. The phylogenies of nuclear and chloroplast markers from East Asian Arabis species are incongruent, which indicates hybrid origin and shows chloroplast capture. In the present study, the complete chloroplast genomes of A. hirsuta, A. nipponica, and A. flagellosa were sequenced in orde...
