Plastid Genomes of Carnivorous Plants <i>Drosera rotundifolia</i> and <i>Nepenthes</i> × <i>ventrata</i> Reveal Evolutionary Patterns Resembling Those Observed in Parasitic Plants

Carnivorous plants have the ability to capture and digest small animals as a source of additional nutrients, which allows them to grow in nutrient-poor habitats. Here we report the complete sequences of the plastid genomes of two carnivorous plants of the order Caryophyllales, <i>Drosera rotun...
