Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is frequent in parasitic plant mitochondria as a result of
vascular connections established in host-parasite relationships. Recent studies of the …

Angiosperm mitochondrial horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been widely reported during
the past decades. With a few exceptions, foreign sequences are mitochondrial genes or …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) among flowering plant mitochondria occurs frequently and,
in most cases, leads to nonfunctional transgenes in the recipient genome. Parasitic plants …

Although horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is common in angiosperm mitochondrial DNAs
(mtDNAs), few cases of functional foreign genes have been identified. The one outstanding …

Horizontal gene transfers (HGTs) from host or other organisms have been reported in
mitochondrial genomes of parasitic plants. Genes transferred in this fashion have usually …

Background Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is relatively common in plant mitochondrial
genomes but the mechanisms, extent and consequences of transfer remain largely …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has played a major role in bacterial evolution and is fairly
common in certain unicellular eukaryotes. However, the prevalence and importance of HGT …

Several plants are known to have acquired a single mitochondrial gene by horizontal gene
transfer (HGT), but whether these or any other plants have acquired many foreign genes is …

This review focuses on horizontal gene transfer (HGT) involving bacteria, fungi, and plants
(Viridiplantae). It highlights in particular the persistent challenge of recognizing HGT, which …

Recent studies have suggested that plant genomes have undergone potentially rampant
horizontal gene transfer (HGT), especially in the mitochondrial genome. Parasitic plants …
