“…The plastome structure of autotrophic plants is usually conserved (Kim and Jansen, 2005;Lin et al, 2015). However, significant structural variations including IR loss, IR contraction/expansion, inversion, pseudogenization, gene duplication, and gene loss have been reported in some gymnosperms (Wu and Chaw, 2016) and angiosperm families such as Campanulaceae (Cosner et al, 1997;Haberle et al, 2008), Geraniaceae (Chumley et al, 2006;Guisinger et al, 2011;Weng et al, 2014), Oleaceae (Lee et al, 2007), Petrosaviaceae (Logacheva et al, 2014), and Leguminosae (Lavin et al, 1990;Wojciechowski, 2003;Luo et al, 2016;Choi and Choi, 2017;Wang et al, 2017).…”
