Reconstruction of the Ancestral Plastid Genome in Geraniaceae Reveals a Correlation between Genome Rearrangements, Repeats, and Nucleotide Substitution Rates
TL;DR: The genomic comparison demonstrates that a series of inverted repeat boundary shifts and inversions played a major role in shaping genome organization in the Geraniaceae family and is correlated with the acceleration in nonsynonymous substitution rates but not with synonymous substitution rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variable presence of the inverted repeat and plastome stability in Erodium.

TL;DR: The presence or absence of the IR does not affect plastome stability in Erodium and the overall repeat content shows a negative correlation with genome stability, a pattern in agreement with other angiosperm groups and recent findings on genome stability in bacterial endosymbionts.
