Green giant—a tiny chloroplast genome with mighty power to produce high‐value proteins: history and phylogeny
Free‐living cyanobacteria were entrapped by eukaryotic cells~ 2 billion years ago, ultimately
giving rise to chloroplasts. After a century of debate, the presence of chloroplast DNA was …

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

The evolution of the plastid chromosome in land plants: gene content, gene order, gene function
This review bridges functional and evolutionary aspects of plastid chromosome architecture
in land plants and their putative ancestors. We provide an overview on the structure and …

Reconstruction of the ancestral plastid genome in Geraniaceae reveals a correlation between genome rearrangements, repeats, and nucleotide substitution rates
ML Weng, JC Blazier, M Govindu… - Molecular biology and …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Geraniaceae plastid genomes are highly rearranged, and each of the four genera already
sequenced in the family has a distinct genome organization. This study reports plastid …
