Substantial structural variation and repetitive DNA content contribute to intraspecific plastid genome evolution

Abstract Background Plastids have highly conserved genomes in most land plants. However, in several families, plastid genomes exhibit high rates of nucleotide substitution and structural rearrangements among species. This elevated rate of evolution has been posited to lead to increased rates of plas...
