Plastome Reduction, Gene Loss, and Phylogenetic Position of the Fully Mycoheterotrophic Orchid Neottia kiusiana (Orchidaceae)
Fully mycoheterotrophic orchids provide a powerful system for examining plastome degradation following the loss of dependence on photosynthesis. Here, we assembled and characterized the complete plastome of Neottia kiusiana and compared its structure, gene content, inverted-repeat boundaries, and phylogenetic position...
