The plastomes of Hyalomonas oviformis and Hyalogonium fusiforme evolved dissimilar architectures after the loss of photosynthesis

Abstract The loss of photosynthesis in land plants and algae is typically associated with parasitism but can also occur in free‐living species, including chlamydomonadalean green algae. The plastid genomes (ptDNAs) of colorless chlamydomonadaleans are surprisingly diverse in architecture, including...
