78-individual-plastid-gene alignments of 264 orchid species (fasta formatted alignments, compressed into a zip file) and supplementary tables S1-S5 (xlsx format).
In order to understand the evolution of the orchid plastome, we annotated and compared 124 complete plastomes of Orchidaceae representing all the major lineages in their structures, gene contents, gen
Full plastome sequences for land plants have become readily accessible thanks to the development of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques and powerful bioinformatic tools. Despite this vast amou
Plastids are one of the main distinguishing characteristics of the plant cell. The plastid genome (plastome) of most autotrophic seed plants possesses a highly conserved quadripartite structure contai
The hawthorns (Crataegus spp.) are widely distributed and famous for their edible and medicinal values. There are ∼18 species and seven varieties of hawthorn in China distributed throughout the countr
