Removal of the large inverted repeat from the plastid genome reveals gene dosage effects and leads to increased genome copy number
The chloroplast genomes of most plants and algae contain a large inverted repeat (IR) region that separates two single-copy regions and harbours the...

Control of plastid inheritance by environmental and genetic factors
The genomes of cytoplasmic organelles (mitochondria and plastids) are maternally inherited in most eukaryotes, thus excluding organellar genomes from...

A comparative study across the parasitic plants of Cuscuta subgenus Grammica (Convolvulaceae) reveals a possible loss of the plastid genome in its section Subulatae
Main conclusionMost species in Cuscuta subgenus Grammica retain many photosynthesis-related plastid genes, generally under purifying selection. A...

Use of plastid genome sequences in phylogeographic studies of tree species can be misleading without comprehensive sampling of co-occurring, related species
We aimed to test the extent to which plastid DNA gives incongruent phylogeographic patterns to nuclear DNA in a species of eucalypt, Eucalyptus...
