Abstract(s)

Despitethesignificanceoftherelationshipsbetweenembryophytesandtheircharophytealgalancestorsindecipheringtheoriginand evolutionary success of land plants, few chloroplast genomes of the charophyte algae have been reconstructed to date. Here, we present new data for three chloroplast genomes of the freshwater charophytes Klebsormidium flaccidum (Klebsormidiophyceae), Mesotaenium endlicherianum (Zygnematophyceae), and Roya anglica (Zygnematophyceae).
