[Paper] Mutational dynamics and phylogenetic utility of noncoding chloroplast DNA

Authors: Borsch T and Quandt D
Source: Plant Systematics and Evolution (2009) 282:169-199.
Note:
The authors studied the mutational dynamics of introns and spacers in plastid genomes. They reviewed some of the well-known markers and the argued the usage of them for phylogenetic analysis. The bottom line is that the structural information is needed to be incorporated.
Also, they put up an erratum in PSE 2010 284:129. There are some mislabeling in Figure 1.
