Mitochondrial function depends on the coordinate action of nuclear and mitochondrial
genomes. The genetic dissection of these interactions presents special challenges in …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is increasingly being recognized as a significant force in the
evolution of eukaryotic genomes. Plants have been both donors and recipients of …

Genome sequencing has resulted in the identification of a large number of uncharacterized
genes with unknown functions. It is widely recognized that determination of the intracellular …

Mitochondria host vital cellular functions, including oxidative phosphorylation and co‐factor
biosynthesis, which are reflected in their proteome. At the cellular level plant mitochondria …

The genomes of DNA-containing cell organelles (mitochondria, chloroplasts) can be
laterally transmitted between organisms, a process known as organelle capture. Organelle …

The protozoan phylum Apicomplexa encompasses∼ 5000 species of obligate intracellular
parasites, including those responsible for malaria and toxoplasmosis. Rather than dividing …

Cytoplasmic male sterility and its fertility restoration via nuclear genes offer the possibility to
understand the role of mitochondria during microsporogenesis. In most cases …

Sex allocation is a crucial life-history parameter in all sexual organisms. Over the last
decades a body of evolutionary theory, sex allocation theory, was developed, which has …

Recent studies have suggested that ultraviolet-C (UV-C) overexposure induces
programmed cell death (PCD) in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh, and this process includes …

Eukaryotic cells require orchestrated communication between nuclear and organellar
genomes, perturbations in which are linked to stress response and disease in both animals …
