Loss of all plastid ndh genes in Gnetales and conifers: extent and evolutionary significance for the seed plant phylogeny.
Current genetics - 1 Jun 2009
Braukmann Thomas Werner Anthony, Kuzmina Maria, Stefanović Sasa
Abstract excerpt
The exact phylogenetic position of Gnetales, a small, highly modified group of gymnosperms with an accelerated rate of molecular evolution, is one of the most challenging issues for seed plant systematics. Recent results from entire plastid genome (ptDNA) sequencing revealed the absence of the en...
