Severe Plastid Genome Size Reduction in a Mycoheterotrophic Orchid, <i>Danxiaorchis singchiana</i>, Reveals Heavy Gene Loss and Gene Relocations

<i>Danxiaorchis singchiana</i> (Orchidaceae) is a leafless mycoheterotrophic orchid in the subfamily Epidendroideae. We sequenced the complete plastome of <i>D. singchiana</i>. The plastome has a reduced size of 87,931 bp, which includes a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions...
