Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Sphagneticola calendulacea (Asteraceae) by Wei Lun Ng, Yubing Zhou, Renchao Zhou, Wei Wu

“…With the spread of a congeneric invasive species Sphagneticola trilobata in South China, the already vulnerable S. calendulacea populations are being threatened further by natural hybridization with the invading species. In this study, we assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of S. calendulacea as a resource for future studies on this species. …”

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Melastoma candidum (Melastomataceae) by Wei Lun Ng, Yacheng Cai, Wei Wu, Renchao Zhou

“…The plant genus Melastoma is comprised of members estimated to have formed through recent species radiation. Natural hybridization among member species further complicates taxonomy within the genus. …”
