Comparative Plastid Genomics of Cryptomonas Species Reveals Fine-Scale Genomic Responses to Loss of Photosynthesis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Genome Biology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evaa001
Abstract: Abstract Loss of photosynthesis is a recurring theme in eukaryotic evolution. In organisms that have lost the ability to photosynthesize, nonphotosynthetic plastids are retained because they play essential roles in processes other than photosynthesis. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0204174
Abstract: Sexually deceptive orchids of the genus Ophrys may rapidly evolve by adaptation to pollinators. However, understanding of the genetic basis of potential changes and patterns of relationships is hampered by a lack of genomic information.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0286083
Abstract: Astragalus is the largest flowering plant genus. We assembled the plastid genomes of four Astragalus species (Astragalus iranicus, A. macropelmatus, A. mesoleios, A. odoratus) using next-generation sequencing and analyzed their plastomes including genome organization, codon… read more here.
