Evolution of the <it>rpoB</it>-<it>psbZ </it>region in fern plastid genomes: notable structural rearrangements and highly variable intergenic spacers

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The <it>rpoB</it>-<it>psbZ </it>(BZ) region of some fern plastid genomes (plastomes) has been noted to go through considerable genomic changes. Unraveling its evolutionary dynamics across all fern lineages wil...
