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 …

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 …

Genome evolution of ferns: evidence for relative stasis of genome size across the fern phylogeny
The genome evolution of ferns has been considered to be relatively static compared with
angiosperms. In this study, we analyse genome size data and chromosome numbers in a …

A well-resolved fern nuclear phylogeny reveals the evolution history of numerous transcription factor families
Ferns account for 80% of nonflowering vascular plant species and are the sister lineage of
seed plants. Recent molecular phylogenetics have greatly advanced understanding of fern …

Seven New Complete Plastome Sequences Reveal Rampant Independent Loss of the ndh Gene Family across Orchids and Associated Instability of the Inverted …
Earlier research has revealed that the ndh loci have been pseudogenized, truncated, or
deleted from most orchid plastomes sequenced to date, including in all available plastomes …

Structural variation of plastomes provides key insight into the deep phylogeny of ferns
Structural variation of plastid genomes (plastomes), particularly large inversions and gene
losses, can provide key evidence for the deep phylogeny of plants. In this study, we …

Insights into chloroplast genome evolution across Opuntioideae (Cactaceae) reveals robust yet sometimes conflicting phylogenetic topologies
Chloroplast genomes (plastomes) are frequently treated as highly conserved among land
plants. However, many lineages of vascular plants have experienced extensive structural …
