Extensive genomic rearrangements mediated by repetitive sequences in plastomes of Medicago and its relatives

Abstract Background Although plastomes are highly conserved with respect to gene content and order in most photosynthetic angiosperms, extensive genomic rearrangements have been reported in Fabaceae, particularly within the inverted repeat lacking clade (IRLC) of Papilionoideae. Two hypotheses, i.e....
