Plant genome evolution in the genus Eucalyptus is driven by structural rearrangements that promote sequence divergence.

Abstract excerpt

Genomes have a highly organized architecture (nonrandom organization of functional and nonfunctional genetic elements within chromosomes) that is essential for many biological functions, particularly gene expression and reproduction. Despite the need to conserve genome architecture, a high level of structural variation has been observed within species. As species separate and diverge, genome architecture also...
