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

Background The genus Allium (Family: Amaryllidaceae) is an economically important group
of crops cultivated worldwide for their use as a vegetable and spices. Alliums are also well …

Salvia miltiorrhiza has been an economically important medicinal plant. Previously, an S.
miltiorrhiza mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) assembled from Illumina short reads …

Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) in higher plants can induce cytoplasmic male
sterility and be somehow involved in nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions affecting plant growth …

Abstract Main Conclusion In this study, we assembled the complete plastome and
mitogenome of Caragana spinosa and explored the multiple configurations of the organelle …

Abstract Background Avena longiglumis Durieu (2 n= 2 x= 14) is a wild relative of cultivated
oat (Avena sativa, 2 n= 6 x= 42) with good agronomic and nutritional traits. The plant …

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 The mitogenomes of vascular plants are one of the most structurally diverse
molecules. In the present study we characterize mitogenomes of a rare and endangered …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is frequent in parasitic plant mitochondria as a result of
vascular connections established in host-parasite relationships. Recent studies of the …

Background Punica granatum is a fundamentally important fruit tree that has important
economic, medicinal and ornamental properties. At present, there are few reports on the …
