December 2025 in “Agriculture” In this research, sequencing the chloroplast genomes of 10 Sansevieria trifasciata cultivars allowed the identification of a trnT-psbD deletion marker capable of distinguishing closely related species, and highlighted evolutionary links with Dracaena, contributing molecular tools for taxonomy and phylogenetic studies in Asparagaceae.
June 2023 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry” In this study, the authors identified and characterized the Get3d protein, conserved across plants and photosynthetic bacteria, which localizes to the chloroplast in Arabidopsis thaliana and potentially plays a role in tail-anchored protein targeting, linked to photosynthesis homeostasis.
December 2024 in “BMC Plant Biology” This study examined Prunus mira populations in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and found high genetic diversity and substantial phylogeographic structure, suggesting geographic isolation limits gene flow; the researchers propose conservation strategies to preserve genetic resources.
