Complete plastid genomes from <it>Ophioglossum californicum</it>, <it>Psilotum nudum</it>, and <it>Equisetum hyemale</it> reveal an ancestral land plant genome structure and resolve the position of Equisetales among monilophytes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Plastid genome structure and content is remarkably conserved in land plants. This widespread conservation has facilitated taxon-rich phylogenetic analyses that have resolved organismal relationships among many land plant groups. Howe...
