Plastids and mitochondria are the only organelles that possess genomes of endosymbiotic
origin. In recent decades, advances in sequencing technologies have contributed to a …

Plastids (including chloroplasts) and mitochondria are remnants of endosymbiotic bacteria,
yet they maintain their own genomes, which encode vital components for photosynthesis …

Plastid and mitochondrial genomes (plastomes and chondromes, respectively) are
rewarding objects for molecular evolutionary studies and useful tools in plant phylogenetics …

Plant cells contain three organelles that harbor DNA: the nucleus, plastids, and
mitochondria. Plastid transformation has emerged as an attractive platform for the …

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR associated
protein (Cas)-mediated gene disruption has revolutionized biomedical research as well as …

Engineering the plastid genome based on homologous recombination is well developed in
a few model species. Homologous recombination is also the rule in mitochondria, but …

Genome editing promises giant leaps forward in advancing biotechnology, agriculture, and
basic research. The process relies on the use of sequence specific nucleases (SSNs) to …

Motivation Complete organellar genome sequences (chloroplasts and mitochondria)
provide valuable resources and information for studying plant molecular ecology and …

GetOrganelle is a state-of-the-art toolkit to accurately assemble organelle genomes from
whole genome sequencing data. It recruits organelle-associated reads using a modified …

Background Land plant organellar genomes have significant impact on metabolism and
adaptation, and as such, accurate assembly and annotation of plant organellar genomes is …
