Complete plastid genomes from
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013 Background Plastid genome structure and content is remarkably conserved in land plants. This widespread conservation has facilitated taxon-rich phylogenetic analyses that have resolved organismal relationships among many land plant groups.

Structural Variation of Plastomes Provides Key Insight Into the Deep Phylogeny of Ferns [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Structural variation of plastid genomes (plastomes), particularly large inversions and gene losses, can provide key evidence for the deep phylogeny of plants.

Evolution and expression of LEAFY genes in ferns and lycophytes [PDF]
EvoDevo, 2022 Background The LEAFY (LFY) transcription factors are present in algae and across land plants. The available expression and functional data of these genes in embryophytes suggest that LFY genes control a plethora of processes including the first zygotic ...

Origin of horsetails and the role of whole-genome duplication in plant macroevolution. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2019 Whole-genome duplication (WGD) has occurred commonly in land plant evolution and it is often invoked as a causal agent in diversification, phenotypic and developmental innovation, as well as conferring extinction resistance.

Genes Translocated into the Plastid Inverted Repeat Show Decelerated Substitution Rates and Elevated GC Content. [PDF]
, 2016 Plant chloroplast genomes (plastomes) are characterized by an inverted repeat (IR) region and two larger single copy (SC) regions. Patterns of molecular evolution in the IR and SC regions differ, most notably by a reduced rate of nucleotide substitution ...
