ИСТИНА

Apiaceae belong to angiosperm families with frequent plastome structural rearrangements, some of which are generally regarded as synapomorphic for large clades, although typically with limited taxon sampling. Our study aims to improve understanding of the structural rearrangements in plastome within the Tordylieae tribe (Apiaceae-Apioideae) with a dense sampling scheme of its species. We showed that presence of psbA pseudogene in inverted repeats near the border with a large single-copy region, which is found in the Tordylieae tribe, may be a clade-specific synapomorphy.
