Latest finding

Phylogenomic and evolutionary analysis of arrowhead (<i>Sagittaria</i> L.) chloroplast genomes.

Researchers decoded the complete chloroplast genomes of three arrowhead (Sagittaria) species, revealing their evolutionary history and identifying genetic hotspots useful for distinguishing species. The study traces arrowhead's split from its closest relative to roughly 23.5 million years ago, providing a genomic foundation for future breeding and conservation work.
