Plastome convergence across endoparasitic plant lineages: genome reduction, high AT bias, elevated substitution rates, and functional persistence in Mitrastemon yamamotoi.
The M. yamamotoi panplastome provides a definitive genomic framework for understanding plastid evolution within the endoparasitic Mitrastemonaceae and exhibits remarkable structural stability and collinearity among individuals.
