Abstract:
Based on a comprehensive morphological and molecular data analysis, we have confirmed and described a new species within the genus Sinocrassula, which is distributed in Sichuan Province, China. Morphologically, the new species resembles Sinocrassuladiversifolia and S.indica, but it is distinctly different from them in its asymmetrical leaves, leaf apex with glands, triangular petals that are white at the base and adorned with dense purple-red stripes and spots on the surfaces upward, and rectangular nectar scales. A phylogenetic analysis utilizing four plastid markers and one nuclear marker supports the conclusion that the new species is sister to S.ganluoensis.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
