Plastome and transcriptome analysis reveals a degenerated photosynthesis-related pathway in the mycoheterotrophic vanilloid orchid Cyrtosia lindleyana

Abstract Background Achlorophyllous mycoheterotrophic plant species demonstrate drastic evolutionary shifts in their photosynthetic machinery as encoded in their chloroplast and nuclear genomes. We used next-generation sequencing to scrutinize these genome-level alterations linked to their distincti...
