Plant mitochondria–past, present and future
The study of plant mitochondria started in earnest around 1950 with the first isolations of
mitochondria from animal and plant tissues. The first 35 years were spent establishing the …

Plant organellar genomes: much done, much more to do
Plastids and mitochondria are the only organelles that possess genomes of endosymbiotic
origin. In recent decades, advances in sequencing technologies have contributed to a …

Plant organellar RNA editing: what 30 years of research has revealed
The central dogma in biology defines the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to
protein. Accordingly, RNA molecules generally accurately follow the sequences of the genes …

OrganellarGenomeDRAW—a suite of tools for generating physical maps of plastid and mitochondrial genomes and visualizing expression data sets
M Lohse, O Drechsel, S Kahlau… - Nucleic acids research, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Mitochondria and plastids (chloroplasts) are cell organelles of endosymbiotic origin that
possess their own genetic information. Most organellar DNAs map as circular double …

The alternative reality of plant mitochondrial DNA: One ring does not rule them all
Plant mitochondrial genomes are usually assembled and displayed as circular maps based
on the widely-held view across the broad community of life scientists that circular genome …

Evolutionary dynamics of the plastid inverted repeat: the effects of expansion, contraction, and loss on substitution rates
Rates of nucleotide substitution were previously shown to be several times slower in the
plastid inverted repeat (IR) compared with single‐copy (SC) regions, suggesting that the IR …

Plant mitochondrial genomes: dynamics and mechanisms of mutation
JM Gualberto, KJ Newton - Annual review of plant biology, 2017 - annualreviews.org
The large mitochondrial genomes of angiosperms are unusually dynamic because of
recombination activities involving repeated sequences. These activities generate …

Mitochondrial and plastid genome architecture: reoccurring themes, but significant differences at the extremes
Mitochondrial and plastid genomes show a wide array of architectures, varying immensely in
size, structure, and content. Some organelle DNAs have even developed elaborate …

Miniaturized mitogenome of the parasitic plant Viscum scurruloideum is extremely divergent and dynamic and has lost all nad genes
Despite the enormous diversity among parasitic angiosperms in form and structure, life-
history strategies, and plastid genomes, little is known about the diversity of their …
