Chloroplast genomes of four Carex species: Long repetitive sequences trigger dramatic changes in chloroplast genome structure

The chloroplast genomes of angiosperms usually have a stable circular quadripartite structure that exhibits high consistency in genome size and gene order. As one of the most diverse genera of angiosperms, Carex is of great value for the study of evolutionary relationships and speciation within its...
