    Joel R McNeal
    Department of Plant Biology, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA
    BMC Plant Biol 7:57. 2007
    ..We sequenced plastid genomes of two species in the parasitic genus Cuscuta along with a non-parasitic relative, Ipomoea purpurea, to investigate changes in the plastid genome that may result from transition to the parasitic lifestyle...
