Plastome Reduction in the Only Parasitic Gymnosperm Parasitaxus Is Due to Losses of Photosynthesis but Not Housekeeping Genes and Apparently Involves the Secondary Gain of a Large Inverted Repeat

Plastid genomes (plastomes) of parasitic plants undergo dramatic reductions as the need for photosynthesis relaxes. Here, we report the plastome of the only known heterotrophic gymnosperm Parasitaxus usta (Podocarpaceae). With 68 unique genes, of which 33 encode proteins, 31 tRNAs, and four rRNAs in...
