Size, structure, and sequence content lability of plant mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) across
species has sharply limited its use in taxonomic studies. Historically, mtDNA variation has …

The mitochondrial genomes of flowering plants experience frequent insertions of foreign
sequences, including linear plasmids that also exist in standalone forms within …

Platycodon grandiflorus (balloon flower) and Codonopsis lanceolata (bonnet bellflower) are
important herbs used in Asian traditional medicine, and both belong to the botanical family …

In plant evolution, intracellular gene transfer (IGT) is a prevalent, ongoing process. While
nuclear and mitochondrial genomes are known to integrate foreign DNA via IGT and …

The genome sequences of the plastid and mitochondrion of white spruce (Picea glauca)
were assembled from whole-genome shotgun sequencing data using ABySS. The …

The number of plant mitochondrial genomes sequenced exceeds two dozen. However, for a
detailed comparative study of different phylogenetic branches more plant mitochondrial …

Despite the significant progress that has been made in the genome sequencing of Prunus,
this area of research has been lacking a systematic description of the mitochondrial genome …

Mitochondria play key roles in cellular-energy metabolism and are vital for plant-life, such as
for successful germination and early-seedling establishment. Most mitochondria contain …
