The Origin and Evolution of Plastid Genome Downsizing in Southern Hemispheric Cypresses (Cupressaceae)
Plastome downsizing is rare in photosynthetic seed plants. However, a large-scale study of five cupressophyte families (conifers II) indicated that the plastomes of some Cupressaceous genera are notably reduced and compact. Here, we enriched taxon sampling in Cupressaceae by adding plastomes of ten...
