Episodic evolution and adaptation of chloroplast genomes in ancestral grasses.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2009

Zhong Bojian, Yonezawa Takahiro, Zhong Yang, Hasegawa Masami

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that the chloroplast genomes of the grass family, Poaceae, have undergone an elevated evolutionary rate compared to most other angiosperms, yet the details of this phenomenon have remained obscure. To know how the rate change occurred during evolution, estimation of the time-scale with reliable calibrations is needed. The recent finding of 65 Ma grass phytoliths in Cretaceous...
