Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Roridula gorgonias plastomes showed accelerated and structurally dynamic evolution relative to Sarraceniaceae.
- Observation Roridula gorgonias showed partial clpP loss and frequent insertions.
- Observation Roridula gorgonias showed elevated nonsynonymous and synonymous substitution rates.
- Observation Roridula gorgonias showed widespread relaxed purifying selection and multiple positively selected sites.
- Observation Roridula gorgonias had reduced RNA editing efficiency at conserved codons.
- Association Digestive and endocytotic variation among Sarraceniaceae corresponded to subtle plastome differences in GC content, gene number and evolutionary rates.
- Association Authors interpret plastome evolution as associated with trophic strategy and ecological pressures.
- Mechanism Authors suggest Roridula plastome dynamics reflect carnivory and wildfire stress.
