There are three distinct genetic systems in higher plants, the dominant nuclear genome and
the semi-autonomous organelle genomes (plastids and mitochondria). In contrast to the …

Mitochondrial genomes are remarkably diverse among green plants, and the explosion of
genome sequencing over the last 30 years has greatly expanded our understanding of this …

Background The complex physical structure and abundant repeat sequences make it difficult
to assemble the mitogenomes of seed plants, especially gymnosperms. Only approximately …

Mitochondria, inherited maternally, are energy metabolism organelles that generate most of
the chemical energy needed to power cellular various biochemical reactions. Deciphering …

Key message We reported the mitochondrial genome of Cinnamomum camphora for the first
time, revealing frequent rearrangement events in the non-coding regions of Magnoliids …

Early land plant mitochondrial genomes (chondromes) might have captured important
changes of mitochondrial genome evolution when photosynthetic eukaryotes colonized land …

Mitochondrial genomes of vascular plants are well known for their liability in architecture
evolution. However, the evolutionary features of mitogenomes at intra-generic level are …

Background Mitochondrial genomes of flowering plants (angiosperms) are highly dynamic in
genome structure. The mitogenome of the earliest angiosperm Amborella is remarkable in …

Background Angiosperm mitochondrial genomes are more complex than those of other
organisms. Analyses of the mitochondrial genome sequences of at least 11 angiosperm …

Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of flowering plants are well known for their extreme
diversity in size, structure, gene content, and rates of sequence evolution and …
