The Evolution of Chloroplast matK Genes, Including Identification of New Homologues from Ophioglossum petiolatum and Two Lycophytes
The introns of chloroplast trnKUUU belong to Group II introns and contain an open reading frame denoted as matK. The trnK5’-matK-trnK3’ structure is consistent in almost all examined higher land plants and in Characeae, but not in other green algae examined. The putative gene product MatK is the onl...
