Among the three genomes in plant cells, the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is the
least studied due to complex recombination and intergenomic transfer. In gymnosperms …

Background Gymnosperms represent five of the six lineages of seed plants. However, most
sequenced plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) have been generated for …

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

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 …

Orchidaceae is one of the largest families of angiosperms. Considering the large number of
species in this family and its symbiotic relationship with fungi, Orchidaceae provide an ideal …

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

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 …

Mitogenomes in plants are well-known as exhibiting high diversity in genome size
architecture and repetitive DNA sequences. In this research study, we report on the …

Zizania latifolia (Griseb.) Turcz. ex Stapf has been cultivated as a popular aquatic vegetable
in China due to its important nutritional, medicinal, ecological, and economic values. The …

Background Mitochondrial gene transfer/loss is common in land plants, and therefore the
fate of missing mitochondrial genes has attracted more and more attention. The gene …
