List of Sequenced Plastomes

List Of Sequenced Plastomes

A plastome is the genome of a plastid, a type of organelle found in plants and in a variety of protoctists. The number of known plastid genome sequences grew rapidly in the first decade of the 21st century. For example, 25 chloroplast genomes were sequenced for one molecular phylogenetic study.

The flowering plants are especially well represented in complete chloroplast genomes. As of March, 2010, all of their orders are represented except Petrosaviales, Pandanales, Liliales, Commelinales, Picramniales, Huerteales, Escalloniales, Bruniales, and Paracryphiales.

Famous quotes containing the words list of and/or list:

    The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)

    Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.
    Janet Frame (b. 1924)
