Plastome evolution at the edge: structural rearrangements, IR expansion, and gene flux in Hypericaceae (Malpighiales)

Our results demonstrate that plastome evolution in Hypericaceae is highly dynamic, characterized by substantial structural plasticity, gene loss, and lineage-specific innovation. These findings provide new insights into plastome diversification across the family and lay the groundwork for further phylogenomic and evolutionary studies within Malpighiales.
