Article Abstract

is an endemic species to China and is only distributed in Jiande, Zhejiang Province. The species is on the verge of extinction. The chloroplast genome of was determined from Illumina pair-end sequencing data. The sequence was 157,387 bp and consisted of one large (LSC, 87,193 bp) and one small (SSC, 18,286 bp) single-copy region region, separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR, 25,954 bp) regions. The sequence included 116 genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, 19 rRNAs and 15 tRNAs. The overall GC content was 37.0%. A maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed that Styracaceae was more closely related to Symplocaceae than to Ebenaceae.

The study of plant biology has traditionally focused on investigations conducted at the tissue, organ, or whole plant level. However, single-cell transcriptomics has recently emerged as an important tool for plant biology, enabling researchers to uncover the expression profiles of individual cell types within a tissue. The application of this tool has revealed new insights into cell-to-cell gene expression heterogeneity and has opened new avenues for research in plant biology.

Symphonia globulifera (Clusiaceae) has emerged as a model organism in tropical forest ecology and evolution due to its significant ecological role and complex biogeographical history. Originating from Africa, this species has independently colonized Caribbean, Central and South America three times, becoming a key component of tropical ecosystems across these regions. Despite the ecological importance of S.
