Abstract:
Ligustrum quihoui is popular as landscape plants used as hedges in gardens. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of L. quihoui based on next-generation sequencing and used the data to assess genomic resources. The chloroplast genome of L. quihoui is 163,575 bp in length consisting of large and small single-copy regions of length 88,072 and 11,493 bp, separated by two IR regions of 32,005 bp. De novo assembly and annotation showed the presence of 115 unique genes with 81 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. A total of 62 perfect chloroplast simple sequence repeats were analyzed in the L. quihoui. A maximum-likelihood phylogenomic analysis showed that L. quihoui was sister to L. gracile.

Lampbrush Chromosomes
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
