Structural diversity among plastid genomes of land plants

JP Mower, TL Vickrey - Advances in botanical research, 2018 - Elsevier
The plastome of land plants is often considered to be highly conserved in sequence,
structure, and content. This is particularly true for nonvascular land plants, for which few …

Evolutionary dynamics of the plastid inverted repeat: the effects of expansion, contraction, and loss on substitution rates

A Zhu, W Guo, S Gupta, W Fan, JP Mower - New Phytologist, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Rates of nucleotide substitution were previously shown to be several times slower in the
plastid inverted repeat (IR) compared with single‐copy (SC) regions, suggesting that the IR …
