The complete chloroplast DNA sequences of the charophycean green algae <it>Staurastrum</it> and <it>Zygnema</it> reveal that the chloroplast genome underwent extensive changes during the evolution of the Zygnematales
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The Streptophyta comprise all land plants and six monophyletic groups of charophycean green algae. Phylogenetic analyses of four genes from three cellular compartments support the following branching order for these algal lineages: M...
