A Large Intergenic Spacer Leads to the Increase in Genome Size and Sequential Gene Movement around IR/SC Boundaries in the Chloroplast Genome of <i>Adiantum malesianum</i> (Pteridaceae)

Expansion and contraction (ebb and flow events) of inverted repeat (IR) boundaries occur and are generally considered to be major factors affecting chloroplast (cp) genome size changes. Nonetheless, the <i>Adiantum malesianum</i> cp genome does not seem to follow this pattern. We sequenc...
