From chloroplasts to “cryptic” plastids: evolution of plastid genomes in parasitic plants
K Krause - Current Genetics, 2008 - Springer
To date, more than 130 plastid genomes (plastomes) have been completely sequenced. Of
those, 12 are strongly reduced plastid genomes from heterotrophic plants or plant-related …

Analysis of 81 genes from 64 plastid genomes resolves relationships in angiosperms and identifies genome-scale evolutionary patterns
Angiosperms are the largest and most successful clade of land plants with> 250,000 species
distributed in nearly every terrestrial habitat. Many phylogenetic studies have been based on …

Complete plastid genome sequences suggest strong selection for retention of photosynthetic genes in the parasitic plant genus Cuscuta
Background Plastid genome content and protein sequence are highly conserved across
land plants and their closest algal relatives. Parasitic plants, which obtain some or all of their …
