Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The plastid is the photosynthetic organelle in plant cell, and the plastid genomes (plastomes) are generally conserved in evolution. As one of the most economically and ecologically important order of angiosperms, Poales was previously documented to exhibit great plastomic variation as an order of photoautotrophic plants. RESULTS: We acquired 93 plastomes, representing all the 16 families and 5 major...
