Complete plastid genome sequences suggest strong selection for retention of photosynthetic genes in the parasitic plant genus <it>Cuscuta</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Plastid genome content and protein sequence are highly conserved across land plants and their closest algal relatives. Parasitic plants, which obtain some or all of their nutrition through an attachment to a host plant, are often a s...
