Comparative Chloroplast Genomics of Dipsacales Species: Insights Into Sequence Variation, Adaptive Evolution, and Phylogenetic Relationships
In general, the chloroplast genomes of angiosperms are considered to be highly conserved and affected little by adaptive evolution.In this study, we tested this hypothesis based on sequence differentiation and adaptive variation in the plastid genomes in the order Dipsacales.We sequenced the plastid genomes of one Adoxaceae species and six Caprifol
