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 …

Reconstruction of the ancestral plastid genome in Geraniaceae reveals a correlation between genome rearrangements, repeats, and nucleotide substitution rates
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 …

Insights into the Evolution of Mitochondrial Genome Size from Complete Sequences of Citrullus lanatus and Cucurbita pepo (Cucurbitaceae)
The mitochondrial genomes of seed plants are unusually large and vary in size by at least
an order of magnitude. Much of this variation occurs within a single family, the …
