Background The molecular evolution of organellar genomes in angiosperms has been
studied extensively, with some lineages, such as parasitic ones, displaying unique …

Genomic reconfiguration in parasitic plants involves considerable gene losses alongside
global genome size inflation and gene births | Plant Physiology | Oxford Academic Skip to Main …

The plastid and nuclear genomes of parasitic plants exhibit deeply altered architectures, 1–
13 whereas the few examined mitogenomes range from deeply altered to conventional. 14 …

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 …

Eukaryotic organelle genomes are generally of conserved size and gene content within
phylogenetic groups. However, significant variation in genome structure may occur. Here …

The mitochondrial genome of Liriodendron tulipifera exhibits many ancestral angiosperm
features and a remarkably slow evolutionary rate, while mitochondrial genomes of other …

Orobanchaceae have become a model group for studies on the evolution of parasitic
flowering plants, and Aeginetia indica, a holoparasitic plant, is a member of this family. In …

Although horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is common in angiosperm mitochondrial DNAs
(mtDNAs), few cases of functional foreign genes have been identified. The one outstanding …

Background Mitochondrial genomes are essential for deciphering the unique evolutionary
history of seed plants. However, the rules of their extreme variation in genomic size, multi …

Plant mitochondrial genomes can be complex owing to highly recombinant structures, lack
of gene syntenies, heavy RNA editing and invasion of chloroplast, nuclear or even foreign …
