Plastid phylogenomics and molecular evolution of Thismiaceae (Dioscoreales)
Abstract Premise Species in Thismiaceae can no longer photosynthesize and instead obtain carbon from soil fungi. Here we infer Thismiaceae phylogeny using plastid genome data and characterize the molecular evolution of this genome. Methods We assembled five Thismiaceae plastid genomes from genome skimming data, adding to previously published data for ...
