From light into shadow: comparative plastomes in Petrocosmea and implications for low light adaptation

Abstract Background Plastids originated from an ancient endosymbiotic event and evolved into the photosynthetic organelles in plant cells. They absorb light energy and carbon dioxide, converting them into chemical energy and oxygen, which are crucial for plant development and adaptation. However, li...
