TABLE 2 in A Comparative Analysis of Whole Plastid Genomes from the Apiales: Expansion and Contraction of the Inverted Repeat, Mitochondrial to Plastid Transfer of DNA, and Identification of Highly Divergent Noncoding Regions

TABLE 2. Comparison of major structural features of seven Apiales plastid genomes. Features of Panax schin-seng are provided by Kim and Lee (2004) and those of Daucus carota are provided by Ruhlman et al. (2006).
