Plastid genome evolution in partially and fully mycoheterotrophic eudicots

Plastid-genome evolution following photosynthesis loss is characterized by substantial change, contrasting with strong conservation in most photosynthetic land plants. Common features of reduced plastid genomes across diverse heterotrophic lineages point to a predictable trajectory of genome degrada...
