Chloroplast genomes of photosynthetic eukaryotes
BR Green - The plant journal, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Chloroplast genomes have retained a core set of genes from their cyanobacterial ancestor,
most of them required for the light reactions of photosynthesis or functions connected with …

Plastid genomes of seed plants
RK Jansen, TA Ruhlman - Genomics of chloroplasts and mitochondria, 2012 - Springer
The field of comparative plastid genomics has burgeoned during the past decade, largely
due to the availability of rapid, less expensive genome sequencing technologies. Currently …

Land plant molecular phylogenetics: a review with comments on evaluating incongruence among phylogenies
CJ Cox - Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Land plants evolved from freshwater charophyte algal ancestors during a single transition to
the terrestrial environment. The six major lineages of land plants are divided into two groups …
