Caught in the Act: Variation in plastid genome inverted repeat expansion within and between populations of Medicago minima

Abstract The inverted repeat (IR) lacking clade (IRLC) is a monophyletic group within the Papilionoideae subfamily of Fabaceae where plastid genomes (plastomes) do not contain the large IR typical of land plants. Recently, an IRLC legume, Medicago minima, was found to have regrown a ~9 kb IR that co...
