- Method / resource Four chloroplast genomes ranged from 119,941 to 138,492 bp.
- Observation All ndh genes were lost in the three Taxillus species relative to Nicotiana tabacum.
- Observation Three ribosomal protein genes were lost in Taxillus species.
- Observation The infA gene was lost in Taxillus species.
- Observation The trnV-UAC gene was lost in P. rigidula.
- Observation The ycf15 gene was lost in P. rigidula.
- Observation Only ndhB remained among ndh genes in P. rigidula.
- Association P. rigidula and host T. chinensis had low chloroplast-genome homology.
- Observation No horizontal gene transfer was found between P. rigidula and host T. chinensis.
- Method / resource Candidate variable chloroplast regions were selected for species identification.
- Observation Taxillus and Scurrula were closely related, supporting congeneric treatment.
- Observation Phacellaria had a close phylogenetic relationship with Viscum.
