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 …

Plastids and mitochondria are the only organelles that possess genomes of endosymbiotic
origin. In recent decades, advances in sequencing technologies have contributed to a …

GetOrganelle is a state-of-the-art toolkit to accurately assemble organelle genomes from
whole genome sequencing data. It recruits organelle-associated reads using a modified …

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 …

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 …

DNA barcoding has had a major impact on biodiversity science. The elegant simplicity of
establishing massive scale databases for a few barcode loci is continuing to change our …

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 …

The large mitochondrial genomes of angiosperms are unusually dynamic because of
recombination activities involving repeated sequences. These activities generate …

The green lineage (Viridiplantae) comprises the green algae and their descendants the land
plants, and is one of the major groups of oxygenic photosynthetic eukaryotes. Current …

Phylogeography is a discipline concerned with various relationships between gene
genealogies—phylogenetics—and geography. The word “phylogeography” was coined in …
