The Broken Chloroplast Gene Clusters in Gymnosperms Exhibit Elevated Substitution Rates
Plant chloroplast (cp) gene clusters consist of genes arranged closely together on the cp genome. These genes are organized in operon structures and participate in cotranscription, typically exhibiting conservation. Broken gene clusters have been observed in gymnosperms. In order to investigate whet...
