Loss of the IR region in conifer plastomes: Changes in the selection pressure and substitution rate of protein‐coding genes
Abstract Plastid genomes (plastomes) have a quadripartite structure, but some species have drastically reduced or lost inverted repeat (IR) regions. IR regions are important for genome stability and the evolution rate. In the evolutionary process of gymnosperms, the typical IRs of conifers were lost...
