Repeated sequences associated with inversions and length mutations in the chloroplast genomes of Pseudotsuga and Pinus

Creator:

Hipkins, Valerie D.

Abstract:

To help understand the mechanisms of conifer chloroplast genome evolution, we characterized the nucleotide sequences of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesiz) and Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) chioroplast DNA that are associated with a length mutation hotspot and inversion. The chloroplast DNA ofthese two conifers are characterized by shared large inversions that are...
