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 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 …

Highly variable chloroplast markers for evaluating plant phylogeny at low taxonomic levels and for DNA barcoding
W Dong, J Liu, J Yu, L Wang, S Zhou - PloS one, 2012 - journals.plos.org
Background At present, plant molecular systematics and DNA barcoding techniques rely
heavily on the use of chloroplast gene sequences. Because of the relatively low evolutionary …

Rapid evolution of enormous, multichromosomal genomes in flowering plant mitochondria with exceptionally high mutation rates
Genome size and complexity vary tremendously among eukaryotic species and their
organelles. Comparisons across deeply divergent eukaryotic lineages have suggested that …

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 …

Conflicting phylogenomic signals reveal a pattern of reticulate evolution in a recent high‐Andean diversification (Asteraceae: Astereae: Diplostephium)
High‐throughput sequencing is hel** biologists to overcome the difficulties of inferring the
phylogenies of recently diverged taxa. The present study analyzes the phylogenetic signal of …
