Abstract excerpt
Plastomes of the peridinin-containing dinoflagellates are composed of a limited number of genes, which are carried individually on small circular molecules, termed 'minicircles'. Although the prevalent plastid chromosome of most algae and plants has only a single copy of each gene, our previous study showed that low copy numbers of multiple variants of the gene psbA co-exist with the 'ordinary' gene encoding the...
