Abstract excerpt
The molecular evolution of a chloroplast minisatellite locus in the Anacamptis palustris (Orchidaceae) lineage and haplotype variation in two Italian A. palustris populations were investigated. A phylogenetic analyses of the chloroplast tRNA(LEU) intron, where the minisatellite locus is located, revealed that a deletion in the ancestor of the A. palustris lineage led to the formation of two noncontiguous,...
