Fig. 1.

Genomic map of the S. persica cp genome. The pink part inside the inner green circle indicates the extent of the inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb; 25,949 bp), which separate the genome into small (SSC; 17,683 bp) and large (LSC; 83,798 bp) single copy regions. Genes drawn inside the circle are transcribed clockwise, and those outsides are transcribed counter clockwise. Genes belonging to different functional groups are color-coded. The red in the inner circle corresponds to the GC content, and the light green corresponds to the AT content
