A three-step model for genome rearrangement with the clpP pseudogene in C. japonica cp genome. (A) the hypothesized ancestral cp genome of C. japonica; (B), (C) the hypothesized genome rearrangement; (D) the present form of C. japonica. The number (IV) in the figure indicate the formed repetitive sequence (see Figure 10 and additional file 3), and its transition position during genome rearrangement.
