Schematic diagram showing the formation of the A-type plastome in D. tasmanica through intermolecular recombination of the G-type plastome. The first recombination mediated by the 11-bp IRs merges two G-type plastomes into a recombined intermediate product. The second recombination mediated by the large IRs splits the recombined intermediate product into an A-type plastome and a rearranged plastome (not detected). Solid lines and gridded lines represent sequences from two copies of the G-type plastome. Dotted lines and boxes indicate the positions of recombination. The recombination positions are magnified to show how the recombination proceeds.
