Chloroplast genomes of flowering plants are generally conserved and contain a set of about 110 genes that encode photosynthesis-related functions and components of housekeeping gene expression machinery. Carnivorous plants have the ability to capture and digest small animals as a source of additional nutrients, which allows them to grow in nutrient-poor habitats. Plastid genomes of carnivorous plants represent model systems in which to study the effects of relaxed selective pressure on photosynthetic function. Here we report the complete sequence of the plastid genomes of two carnivorous angiosperms of the order Caryophyllales, - Drosera rotundifolia and Nepenthes x ventrata.
