- Title
Plant genetics: Following the early root of plastome degradation.
- Authors
Jones, Bryony
- Abstract
The article discusses research being done on the early stages of the transition of the coralroot orchids to a parasitic lifestyle or highly reduced chloroplast genome. It references the study "Investigating the path of plastid genome degradation in an early-transitional clade of heterotrophic orchids, and implications for heterotrophic angiosperms," by C. F. Barrett and colleagues and published in the 2014 issuw of the journal "Molecular Biology and Evolution."
