Multichromosomal mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) structures have repeatedly evolved
in many lineages of angiosperms. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear …

Since the endosymbiont origin from α‐Proteobacteria, mitochondrial genomes have
undergone extremely divergent evolutionary trajectories among eukaryotic lineages …

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

The architecture and composition of the mitochondrial genome of bryophytes is currently
considered much more stable and invariant than that of vascular plants. For example …

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

Background In contrast to the highly labile mitochondrial (mt) genomes of vascular plants,
the architecture and composition of mt genomes within the main lineages of bryophytes …

Plastids and mitochondria are endosymbiotic organelles that store genetic information. The
genomes of these organelles generally exhibit contrasting patterns regarding genome …

Background Viburnum chinshanense is an endemic species found exclusively in the North-
Central and South-Central regions of China. This species is a lush garden ornamental tree …

Plants have large and complex mitochondrial genomes in comparison to other eukaryotes.
In bryophytes, the mitochondrial genomes exhibit a mixed mode of conservative and …

In order to study the evolution of mitochondrial genomes in the early branching lineages of
the monocotyledons, ie, the Acorales and Alismatales, we are sequencing complete …
