CONIFER CHLOROPLAST GENOMES?

   CONIFER CHLOROPLAST GENOMES (NEARLY) SEQUENCED ?????

To date a number of chloroplast genomes have been sequenced. A few
years ago there were plans to sequence the entire chloroplast genome
from a conifer. Has anybody got any news about what has been done to
date in this regard?

I'd appreciate any information.
